I guess I'm the new guy...

Sorry, I should have been more specific in my previous posting. I prefer to take classes that will allow me to study on my own and just take the test VS having to complete weeks of course work. With that said, To my understanding I should avoid SL. Also, due to the high cost of Pen Foster, I don't really wish to use that method. The model that Saylor has going seems to be good for me; essentially taking the exams without having to complete a ton of course work. (I'm aware the materials are awful for the courses, but this can be avoided by studying in other ways) I'm not really sure what else to say. Perhaps I could Private message you and take this discussion off-line(in regards to this thread anyway)?

Ok, I revised my spreadsheet, to utilize Saylor, ALEKS, The Institutes, CLEP, DSST. You can fill in the blanks however you'd like (most Gen Ed, Free Electives, AOS, etc.). There are plenty of Saylor courses you can use in these spots.

Also, from what I've heard from people on this forum, SL courses don't take weeks of studying. People manage to get MANY credits in a month utilizing SL on a regular basis. I've seen 30+ credits in a month from multiple people. Even if you only manage 9 or 12 credits in a month this way, that's a lot. Study.com & Shmoop also haven't been said to take weeks of work.
