Hi There!
Ok, here's the basics - I completed 29 credits several years ago, but some of them I got Ds in, and a few were pass/fail, so I don't know if they'll count. I'm also not sure if the math and science ones will count toward my gen ed or not, as well. I'll put the breakdown below.
My goal is to get an associates (in just general studues, or whatever) as quickly as possible, with as many CRE (clep, dsst, etc). credits & self paced study - proctored exams or not - as I can do! (I am a fantastic test taker, have nearly an eidetic memory and read incredibly fast.)
Once I have my associates, I'd like to get a BSLA in history. Mostly because I love it. I'd still like to complete this as quickly as possible, with as much CRE as possible, but I know it's a lot harder to get the UL credits in the ways I prefer, so I'm ok with this taking more time. But if there are options to get it done more quickly in the manner that I prefer, I'd rather do that!
I have already applied to excelsior to at least get an idea of accepted credits, but after scouring this forum I have found that while EC doesn't accept Ds, TESU and COSC will accept Ds as long as they're not in English Composition - right?
While obviously I'd prefer to keep costs as low as possible, I'm not really that concerned about it. Time is more important to me at this point. For example, I'll go through modern states to get the free voucher (if it's free, it's for me!) but between the options of taking an entire semester of a class verses spending a few hundred bucks extra to get it done in 2-3 weeks, I'm going for the second option.
SO! Here are my main concerns / questions:

ENGL 1110 College Composition I 3 A-
MATH 1260 Calculus- Business with App I 3 B

SO! Here are my main concerns / questions:
- Which institutions should I get my degrees through.
- Which credits do you think will transfer?
- Which LL CREs should I pursue? I'm taking the US History 1 Clep next week - figured I might as well use the voucher. I also have a College Comp (with essay) voucher, but wasn't sure if it'd be worth it to take since I have comp 1 already. I noticed that Excelsior gives more credit for some of the Cleps than COSC & TESU, but since they probably wont take my crappy grades, it might be a wash?
- Can you recommend the best way to quickly accumulate UL credits via self-paced or CREs, and which ones would be the best for my path?
