Can you take the DSST Ethics in America exam instead of the ECE exam?

When a biology course is 4 semester hours for a biology course, you are receiving 3 semester hours for the course and 1 semester hour for the accompanying lab. When you receive 8 semester hours for two biology courses, you are receiving 2 semester hours of lab credits. When you say 3-4 hours for microbiology, it isn't clear if you were awarded lab credit because we don't know if you received 3 hours or 4 hours.

Some schools and employers don't consider lab credits awarded from passing tests to be legitimate credits. That's just a statement of fact, not a criticism of your credits and hopefully it won't start a pointless debate hijacking your thread. It all depends on what your goals are.

Could you take CLEP World Civilization instead of the ECE exam? The CLEP might be easier to study for.

Two many transcripts? I wouldn't count CLEP as a transcript. You won't send a CLEP or DSST transcript to graduate schools, only your FAMU and ECE transcripts. That's because CLEP and DSST don't award credit. They just report scores to schools that grant the credit. You have two transcripts. No big deal. I have 10.
