Thank you all! And, a little about my journey....... I began taking CLEP tests the summer I graduated from high school (2007), and earned 24 credits my "freshman" year of college, until I began with a college coaching organization, CollegePlus!, last June. I then earned my remaining 96 credits in about a year and a month. Because of my degree, I could have tested out of all of my credits, but I chose to test out of all but 3 in order to earn a GPA from TESC by taking a course. So, I took a total of 31 tests, and found that I much preferred them to taking a 12-week course! Best wishes as well to all of you that are almost finished!

First off ~ Congratulations! Sounds like CollegePlus!, once again, has helped another student gain a degree. Do you recommend their services? What are your plans now?

GREAT JOB.

Yes, I HIGHLY recommend CollegePlus! It helped greatly in the way of figuring out what degree I wanted/planning the way to that degree, and it was also very beneficial to have a coach that was not only there to encourage me and help me work toward my goals, but to also walk me through all the processes involved in college application and enrollment, graduation, etc. As for my plans now, I have had a couple of interviews with CP!, and Lord willing I will be working for them as an Advisor in their new program, CollegePlus! Prep.

Funny you mention that. I was looking at CP Prep for my daughter; she'll be in 9th grade this year. I'm not sure she's ready for it or even wants it!  Actually, because of her lack of drive, I thought this would be a good way of getting her interested in the process.
