Excelsior question

[Kima]

Do you think that the statistics DSST is easier? I really chose Straighterline because it may be easier  to pass since they use the quizzes throughout the course to help with your grade and thought maybe it would give me a better chance at passing.

Also, anyone who is willing to recommend classes, please feel free. I am looking for affordable options.  I will paste my classes needed and what I have down below. Thanks again! I really need assistance with UL credits. I heard Davar is a good option.

Mathematical req: You can do CLEP PreCalc, it's not that hard if you understand Algebrae
Statistics: I do recommend DSST over Straighterline, the test is better and it's quicker to get the credits and DSST (the company is Prometric) is better known than Straighterline. I used the DSST Statistics for my statistics requirement
Natural Science: Maybe CLEP Biology or CLEP Chemistry, whichever you're better at
The Information Literacy has to be taken at Excelsior, it's not hard and you can go at your own pace.
US Business Law: I don't know, but ask if you can take the CLEP Business Law for this req
And the Capstone has to be taken at Excelsior as well

Hope this helps

Will Excelsior not accept the Davar Academy Eng 103 course to meet the Information Literacy requirement?

Yes.  Excelsior recommended it to me.  I completed it in a weekend and a few weeks later the credit was applied at Excelsior.
