I've been lurking here seemingly forever, and have been pursuing my degree off and on (more off) for even longer than that. I had the realization that maybe I could achieve the goal of finishing my degree at TESC before my 40th birthday in March, but I'd like some advice. Would anyone be able to weigh in and see if what I'm trying to do is remotely possible?
My background... I'm going to cut and paste only what I need at TESC, not the completed credits, as I don't think that info is relevant. Here goes:

=====================================
Essentially, I have to complete 5 UL classes/exams and 4 LL classes/exams, pay the enrollment fee (my enrollment lapses over a year ago), then graduation fee when I'm closer to the finish line, and then I'm done. I need to do this as cheaply as possible, but that's where I'm at a loss. What would be a cost efficient method of doing this in 3-4 months?
For the UL classes, I can retake the TECEP Abnormal Psych, as I attempted it back in the summer, but failed it due to lack of thorough studying.
I did take the ECE World Population exam a year ago, but TESC won't evaluate it until I pay the enrollment fee. Any suggestions for 3 more classes after that? I'm also open to suggestions for the LLs, hopefully something a bit easier. Straighterline, maybe? Would that be the cheapest?
Thanks in advance and kudos to those who read this far.
