But meanwhile with my 70ish CC credits in general classes I will be going to try and get my BSBA CIS from TESC but I was hoping to be able to test out of some classes at Franklin (they call it a FUPE) but do you ever feel if taking an exam will take away from what you should be learning?
Like many others on this site, I've taken a ton of DSST/CLEPS and can tell you that I definetly didn't feel I lost anything. Now there are others that study only the minimum to pass the exam and Instantcert is designed to teach the test, not the subject (sometimes you will see teachers do this as the will stomp their foot to empahsize "this is on the test, pay attention"). Do they know the subject? maybe, maybe not, knowledge depends so much more than just classroom learning. Want to see if you know a subject, try to explain it to someone who has no knowledge of it. If you can explain it, than you know it.
CLEPS Passed: 10 DSST Passed: 11 TECEPS: 1

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.
