Here's my BALS degree, but you can just look at the upper section for the options for the specific stuff. Once you get to Get Ed electives, you can opt for different things: if you're using a SL membership and like it, you can continue on with it for whichever courses you'd like. IF you're using study.com and want to continue with that, you can. There are tons of Gen Ed electives for both of those. You can also use Saylor, as there are options there as well (and you can use Study.com to study for the exams if you want). I didn't include ALEKS and Shmoop, but those are good options too (ALEKS expires on 1/31/17, so you would need to finish prior to that date).
As far as UExcel goes, I personally wouldn't use those if I didn't have to. They are more expensive than most other options, and you have to go to a testing center for that (not a CLEP or DSST testing center, but a PearsonVUE testing center). The main (maybe only) reason to do UExcel exams is for a grade.
I also would avoid DSST exams if you're out of the country, unless you have a testing center close by. There are other online options for every single option on your list.
TECEP's are also available online, and if you're planning on going to TESU, it would make more sense to take TECEP exams than UExcel exams.
Also, since you are from out of the country, I'm assuming that you speak another language fluently; there are several options for foreign languages, which are a great option for fluent speakers. You will get the most bang for your buck that way - you can CLEP (Spanish, French of German) for 9 LL credits, but you can also pay just $105 for many different languages that are through ACTFL, and get 6-12cr per exam (including a lot of UL credit). There is a huge list of languages they cover, and they also give you a certificate showing that you are fluent in that language, which you are allowed to put on your resume. Just a thought, there is a lot of talk on this forum about it if you need more info.
