Excelsior- cheapest route?

Some have joined POAG in the past (search this forum) for $25 to get Excelsior College Association Pricing.  I did not as I had the military deal.

Thank you, I'll look into that to see if that's a possibility. 

It sort of looks like a plain old Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts is my easiest degree. It looks like I need 30 upper level credits as I have nothing that qualified as upper level. 
It looks like I could easily do my first depth in Humanities as I have a pile of lower level credits in that and then maybe I could use DSST tests "Ethics in America" and "Intro to World Religion" as my 6 upper level credits. 
It looks like depth 2 could easily be had in Natural Sciences. Is that specific enough for a depth? Anyways, I have a pile of lower level in that category, Chem and Bio and Anatomy and Physiology and several math classes. I was thinking for my 6 upper level credits I could use the Uexcel test "Pathophysiology". I took the practice test on the content guide and got around a 64% with no studying, so, I think I could study my way through that. My other 3 upper level credits I think I would just take the class through Excelsior Bio 404 Ecology. 

At that point, I would have 9 upper level credits via test and 3 via class. I still have to take the Capstone, so that's 6 via class. I would still need another 15 upper level credits from arts and sciences-  thinking I would take DSST tests "Civil War and Reconstruction" and "Rise and Fall of Soviet Union" if both of those still count as upper level. Then I would probably take the Uexcel test "Social Psychology".  I need to take 12 credits for financial aid, so would probably round out the rest of my upper level credits with Bio 412 and Bio 360. 

So, it looks like 4 classes (+ info literacy 1) and 6 tests should clear out my requirements. 

Obviously some of these tests are more daunting than others. I took the practice tests for those DSST and got at least 60% correct without any studying, but, I'm sure the two Uexcel will be a bit more daunting. I think I would try to fit in a couple DSST before the Spring semester starts and then fit the other two in as time allows and then take the two Uexcels at the end of the semester. Will I end up with more fees that way?
