Straighterline or CLEP?

[cookderosa]

Another question you could ask is why some people have never even considered a Straighterline course. CLEP is accepted at far more schools than Straighterline is. Life sometimes takes unexpected turns that invalidate earlier plans. Some of us prefer CLEP because of its greater acceptance that could matter after that unexpected twist of fate.

This is a great point. In fact, I used to have a list of ACE colleges, however, as my oldest started this path, I've found that an ACE college doesn't mean that they take "all" ACE credit. In fact, my local CC is listed as an ACE college, but there is one single carpentry program that has ACE evaluation that they accept- and only for those in the carpentry program. ACE is not nearly as accepted, and if you're CERTAIN that you're headed to the big 3, you really have your pick. Of course, if you're unsure, then you should choose CLEP. My son has 21 ACE credits that he won't get to use.
