Ohio U credit by examination?
#5
I took some of Ohio U's credit-by-exam options about a decade ago. The cost then was about half of what it is now, and they had far more options then. If there's a particular exam you're interested in, let me know and I'll see if I took it and if I can remember anything specific. I can tell you that I do remember that you need the exact textbook and the exact edition of that textbook. I had one test where I had used the previous edition to study, but a short essay question referenced one of the photos in the textbook, which wasn't in my edition. Seriously. I've taken a couple of UExcels and several TECEPs, and I'd recommend either one of those over the Ohio U exams - they're less expensive, and in my opinion, much easier. For example, the Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia exam had a question requiring me to draw a map showing the territories in the realm of a certain ancient king. And it's not like they told me in advance which king it would be, only that there would be a map question. (The current description of that exam doesn't look like that's still required, though.) On a more positive note, the Ohio U transcript does not indicate that the courses were completed by exam, so they just look the same as regular courses.
