I'm not going to feed the troll. Good riddance.
With that said, for those starting their journey, I do think there is value to the old plans. My BA Psychology via 100% test out from Excelsior was awarded in 2005. Most of my credits were achieved in 2002. It's old and yes, the requirements have changed slightly--sure.
90%+ of my degree credits still work the same way. You still need 120 credits. The distribution of credits may have changed slightly. I may need to take a different or additional gen ed course, or a capstone, or other minor changes. Higher Ed just doesn't move that fast. Someone that takes the same tests I did, or their modern equivalents, is going to be darn close to a degree.
