Make sure that your school will count Here's to Your Health toward that science requirement (rather than, say, as an 'applied health studies' course – with which, as a surgical assistant, you might be full up! – before investing much time or money in it.
It's a bit hard to answer your question because we don't know what duplicative credit you might hold, and what degree your seeking where and your school's relevant CLEP/DSST policies. For instance, the CLEP in Analyzing and Interpreting Literature is very popular here and often yields 6 sh of credit. But your school might bump it down to 3, or might not accept it. Or you might already have taken a course on interpreting literature. Generally, you can't "double dip" in this situation and get the credit for one plus the credit for the other. Though if the course was 3 sh and your school would give the CLEP 6 sh, you would gain the 3 sh difference by taking the exam. See? So many fine points.
