Tried sending ACE Saylor courses not listed on equivalency lists?

You forgot about the SAS Advanced Programmer Professional Certificate. That's an UL math that counts in the AOS for CS students.

Hmm. I wonder how long it took sarahmac to get cert?

I did the basic cert and it took a while.  It was involved and there was a coding assignment or two for every section.  Compared to other Coursera courses, this one was much closer to the estimated time they have listed (still not quite as long as they estimate).  I imagine the advanced is probably pretty similar, fairly involved.  But if SAS is important to you and a guaranteed pass is more important than time spent, it could be worthwhile.  It's just much more effort than the SDC stuff (which is kind of a joke).  It can probably be done in a week if you're not working full time, otherwise a month if you have substantial weekend or weeknight time to dedicate.  Can't just listen on the commute take a test and write a paper in an hour or two though!

She also mentioned the IBM full stack gets you an upper Addtl AOS if you prefer that route.  Picks up some other random credits (mostly useless except for electives) too.  But if you're going to use any of the technologies covered, it could be worthwhile.
