What % of people finish?

Btw, I used an engineering degree as an example because it is not possible to completely test out of that field from scratch, not cheap, and not quick. Absolutely there are many examples of people testing out of an entire degree from scratch in a short term though.

Outside of the big 3, wgu, and a handful of other relatively flexible colleges, ACE and NCCRS are nearly worthless(besides ACE military transcripts, CLEP, AP and maybe DSST). This is slowly changing as many of the online providers put more focus on partnering with schools.

I definitely agree that CLEP and such are way underutilized as a way to speed up the degree and save money.

Yeah I agree and I never said it wasnt possible. It just isn't easy, especially if you aren't willing to work for it

For sure, I used Clep to earn two associates degrees in two years. I only earned enough traditional in class credits for one degree, but when I found out the second degree only needed 15 additional credits, CLEP made it possible for me to earn two degrees in two years.

It all depends on the school honestly, some schools take ace, nccrs, it depends and you definitely have to do a lot of research and talking on the phone with people to make it work for you.
