Beginners Guide To Getting Cheap/Fast College Credit
#3
Update: Oops... Missing a post, this should be "in between post number 5 and 6".
Read Post#12 for the spreadsheet lists: http://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/showthre...#pid244391
Chose ACE/NCCRS courses over CLEP/DSST exams - fully online without the need to visit testing centers.

Read the Basic Approach - Online Education Guide (within my signature hyperlinks)
(Beginners Guide to Getting Cheap/Fast College Credit on the degreeforum wiki)

Quick Guide/Spreadsheet: TESU Bachelors Degree in 1200 hours (120 days or 4 months)
---This assumes you start the TESU Capstone course on the second month---
The spreadsheets were created by dfrecore and I customized it to reflect my recommendations

1st month: Free Credits & Saylor/Shmoop courses, Start SL/Study.com
2nd month: Straighterline & Study.com, Start your capstone
3rd month: Straighterline & Study.com, Continue with capstone
4th month: Finish Capstone and remainder of degree requirements

1: For the BALS, you can take Shmoop courses for the AOS/Free Electives
2: For the BSBA, you take more required courses from SL/Study.com for AOS
3: All the courses in the BALS/BSBA are transferable to TESU

This is very much doable for someone who has time on their hands, example 10 hours/day.
The courses chosen for the degree spreadsheet are cheap/easy/fast and the style of learning.

Straighterline courses use ProctorU for the final exams, scores are displayed in real time.
I use Straighterline as they are "cheap/easy/fast" credits and you get to learn a little.

Study.com uses RPNow and you will need to wait 3-5 days for the final score to display.
I chose Study.com courses as they are "high school easy", and also learn a little as well.
