Any inexpensive accelerated RA credit science course options?

I don't believe tests are considered RA credit.

Are you sure??

Nothing on the EC website says anything about RA credit. You're not in residency when you take the exam meaning you're not an actively enrolled EC student.

According to SL, the exams provide for ACE credit.

That SL link is over 8 years old and is outdated, only mentioning 8 UExcel tests when Excelsior offers a couple dozen at least. 

Students who pass UExcel exams earn college credit on an official transcript from Excelsior College. UExcel exams are also eligible for ACE CREDIT.

The ACE National Guide shows that all of Excelsior's tests have had their ACE status expired for a few years now.

Nothing on the EC website says anything about RA credit.

Since Excelsior is an RA college and they are providing credits for their own exams, it would be implied that they are RA credits unless stated otherwise on the EC website. Like all things, it never hurts to verify directly with them, though.

Since the OP needs these credits to apply to a specific program, a test may not be the best way to go. I mean the OP can ask, but I'd have a backup plan and get approval in writing.

I agree, it is always recommended to check with your target institution and EC also recommends checking with them along with providing a guide to some schools that do accept UExcels.

8 years ago EC had more than those exams listed on SL available. I would not assume that the exams are RA. I would check with the school the OP needs the credit for especially since it's for a program requirement. It's called getting your ducks all in a row.
