saylor vs clep credits

[dfrecore]

Yes, CLEP has some exams that are 6cr, so if you chose the Saylor course instead, you would miss out on the credits. But, many degrees don't require 2 semesters of a science, so you don't gain a ton if you take the CLEP.

If you're comparing a CLEP to a Saylor course, it's still no comparison in terms of cost, because you could take 4 Saylor exams at 3cr each for the same price as 1 CLEP (if you have a testing center fee), so Saylor is still your best bet there. If you're comparing CLEP to another way of earning credits, the CLEP might come out to be the better buy. It just depends on what other options you have, and what credits you need.
