Regarding published info from TESU, you will have to rely on what we give you for info on that, since tons of us have taken ALEKS courses over the years and gotten it transferred to TESU, but TESU doesn't publish all of the ACE-recommended credit that they will take. I have a huge spreadsheet that I update as I get info here on this forum, and other people have their own methods as well. Some stuff is published (SL, Study.com), but we know all of those as well.
Get rid of anything for CLEP/DSST/UExcel, since those all require testing centers. You can easily take everything through Saylor, Study.com, Straighterline, TECEP's, etc.
Yes, for TECEP's you can pay the matriculated student price, after you apply. It works out to $114/exam, which is a great price, especially if you need some UL courses.
I would start with ALEKS, then the free stuff (Ethics, TEEX if you want), then move onto Saylor if there's anything you want to take through them (it's $25 per exam, the courses are free, but not great). Then, sign up with either SL or Study.com and take a bunch of those courses. Finish with TECEP's if need be.
The only thing I recommend is that if you'd rather take English Comp I & II with TECEP's (exam-only) than with SL (online course), that's a good option. I took the English Comp II and passed it cold, no studying required.
Good luck.
Sorry to jump into this thread... when you mention free classes... which specifically were you referring to? Just the 1 ethics class? or are there more to be done.
