transferring credits multiple times

[davewill]

...  Plugging some classes into the tool I can see that some of the higher level courses from the community college will indeed transfer.  But there Is no CLEP exam for those classes.  Thats what I was asking, can I use the big 3 to test out of the higher level courses at the community college, which those will then transfer to Penn State.  I'm not trying to scam my way through just trying to see if there is a way to test out of higher level classes (if I am capable of doing so) to speed up the time frame. ...

Once again, unless you are actually taking those tests AT one of the Big3, the Big3 have no role to play. Your CC will either take the alternative credit, or they won't. They won't take it because one of the Big3 did. Even if they do, Penn State may not take it as they only promised to take the course from your CC, not from whatever alternative source your used.

The only possible exception to ANY of this would be if Penn State accepts your associate's through a block transfer, and the CC takes the alternative credit directly. However, even then I don't think upper level credit would be granted through the block transfer. Besides, that doesn't sound like what you're describing here with your tool to look up individual course transfers.
