I know we can pick multiple options, but my responses would cancel each other out. It really does depend on the requirement I'm trying to fulfill. I prefer CLEP and DSST due to the ease of studying for them and not having to complete a bunch of assignments and quizzes, but there are many subjects not covered by those two and parking is a nightmare at my nearest testing center, currently. I also like taking TECEPs and CSU Global CBEs at home, but CSU Global CBEs are expensive and TECEPs have to be taken within terms. Uexcels are categorized with those two, but they have the disadvantage of being more expensive than most of the other options and having to be taken at a test center. I had to drive a long ways to get to a Pearson testing center. I do not prefer SL or any other self-paced course, in general, but I did choose them to avoid the hassle of taking the Public Speaking DSST and spending an inordinate amount of money on the Microbiology Uexcel. I would also use them for a subject in which I did not feel comfortable enough to do high-stakes testing. I did spend a whole lot of money on the A&P Uexcel because the SL and Study.com options had way too many quizzes. I haven't used Saylor yet, but it's not like the other ACE and NCCRS options. It's more like CLEP, DSST, TECEP, Uexcel, etc. without the wide acceptance.
