CLEP Unethical?

[LaterBloomer]

I don't think it's unethical, but if you determine that it is, why not take an alternate CLEP, or DSST test? (I'm drawing a blank, but one of the Big 3 is now offering tests for $99. Include them in your consideration.) There's more than one way to get credit for humanities, or social sciences, or whatever. Am I being clear? If you attempted Art History while you were at a Brick and Mortar institution, why not try the DSST test "Art of the Western World," or some other test that would meet a general education requirement? Does that address your problem without getting into ethical or unethical behavior? You wouldn't be testing for a class that you failed, you'd be testing in an area that meets the same requirement. While I'm babbling, I'll go on to say that I don't think it's unethical because most institutions, if you fail a class, will allow you to take the class again. Re-take? Test out? What's the difference?
