CLEP Exam Ranking

[MNomadic]

Wow! I think I'll take another look at TESU. Thanks for the info.

So, as you look at schools, the Big 3 have the lowest institutional requirement of any accredited colleges in teh USA (that's why they got the pet name) but the strategy being used is to max out the transfer policy by taking EVERYTHING away/ apart from the school.  To do this, you can create a patchwork quilt of credits and then send everything (perfectly aligned, of course) to the school and voila, you're ready to take 1-2 classes and graduate.  That kind of planning only works if you're highly motivated and a little bit brave.  
If you want an advisor to plan your classes and to take the classes through the college instead, the big 3 are VERY expensive. You can, of course do that - most of their students are doing that, but this board comes at it differently.

Hi Cookderosa, what you're saying make senses and aligns with what I'm thinking. I guess I still need to see how many of my previous ITT credits TESU would accept for their B.S degree, and then take as many exams as possible for the remaining courses, right? Are there any other requirements I need to consider or plan for this "fast track" method?

Tesu should accept pretty much all your previous credits and apply them where appropriate to the degree requirements.

Depending on what degree you pursue, you should be able to use "test out" and a few other "alternative" methods for the majority of your degree, making it significantly faster and cheaper.

What are these other “alternative” methods you speak of?

Here's a small sampling of the common ones we talk about here:
-CLEP
-DSST
-study.com
-straighterline
- onlinedegree.com
- saylor
- Sophia
- TECEPs

Basically, many are able to put together their degrees using a large variety of credits from multiple sources.
There are many sources that are ACE and/or NCCRS approved for credit.

Check out the degree forum wiki for a basic guideline of this approach:

Also, how many credits do you have from ITT or any other colleges?
