Advice - College Credits

[bjcheung77]

Aren't Clep and Dsst exams Ace credits?

Unfortunately No. For example: CLEP is a VISA, DSST is a MasterCard, ACE is an AMEX.
Think of CLEP, DSST and ACE or other courses as Credit Cards - They're different brands.
They're all "credit", but they're not going to be sending you one card to use for all three. It's one card each.
The balance can't be paid by another credit card, you have to pay off the balance with the card provider.

Your credits that you finish from CLEP will only be held by CLEP, DSST will be held by DSST. I get scared if my course is only pass/fail with one test. I like to have my eggs in more than one basket, cheapest/easiest/fastest... ACE will be able to help you store all your ACE credits from different educational providers, another reason I like ACE Credits is that their courses are all online based and can be completed faster and easier than any type of CLEP/DSST or another Credit By Exam.

Note: CLEP is recognized by 2900+ schools, DSST recognized by 1900+, ACE is also recognized by 1900+, and then there's NCCRS that's recognized by 1500+ institutions. You should attend a Regionally Accredited school that accepts all types of credits, including all 4, and other school CBE (Credit By Exams) such as TECEPS/UEXCELS or CSU Global CBE's. For that reason, I recommend choosing the Big 3 (COSC , Excelsior College, Thomas Edison), the Competency Based Degree providers, Patten/Hodges /WGU and WVUP.

One more question. Are the ACE credit equivalent to the DSST and CLEP CREDITS. Do they hold the same college level credits. I'm so sorry to be a pain. Truly I am.

No worries, I am a work at home dad...
I have plenty of time to help others, including yourself.

The answer to ACE being equivalent to CLEP and DSST is a big YES, it holds the same college credits.
However, it all depends on your receiving institution... Each one will review the course equivalency differently.

As I mentioned in the previous post, many schools accept all types of credits.
