A few questions for the pros...

[brucet3]

I am very excited about testing out of classes. I have some questions for the pro's. On average, if someone has around 25 credits already, how long would it take them to test out of the rest of the required credit hours at excelsior or any of the clep/dsst friendly colleges for that matter.

While not representative of a normal student, I started Oct. 1st, with 18 usable college credits. My last CLEP/DSST's are this week and next week and I'll be done.

I haven't slept in 4 months, and I believe I now have ADHD to add to my OCD. When I found this forum a light clicked on in my head and I knew what I had to do. I spent the month of Sept planning and plotting. Asking questions on the forum and lurking in general. I spent Oct on a Aleks/Straighterline binge. I began CLEP/DSST in Nov, with one test every 3 weeks. and Jan I began classes at TESC and will be done with everything in time to graduate in June.

Its important to come up with a solid plan, that's realistic and achievable. Then once you execute your plan, you review and tweak it weekly or more (daily, thank you OCD) following the path of least resistance when it comes to credits.

Or at least that's what I did.
