Ok, this is the type of information I was looking for!!!

How does ALEKS work, I looked through there and ill be honest all the options confused me.
Study.com how exactly does it work? does it cost anything? I was also looking at potentially Straighterline, but I really dont want to pay that much money. 
Sophia? Never heard of it.

Do you know anything of modern states?

I haven't personally used ALEKS before so hopefully someone else can help you there. Here is their ACE approved courses page: https://www.aleks.com/about_aleks/ace_credit

study.com costs $200/month and lets you finish 2 college courses per month at that rate, so it's $100 per course if you finish 2 per month. On study.com you basically view 5-10 minute long lessons(or read the transcripts) and take short multiple choice quizzes afterwards(you get multiple tries). After you finish all the quizzes you can take a proctored final. 

If straighterline is too pricey for you, check this thread regularly for coupon codes: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...de?page=37

Sophia is just another online provider like study and straighterline with its own pros and cons.

modernstates is awesome! They have free courses that give you a basic introduction to a subject plus access to a free opensource textbook. If you finish their course, they will pay for your CLEP. I've finished 2 cleps for free this way and am taking my third this week.
