Excelsior Evaluation - Advice please

[cde]

Hi,
I thought I would get the board's advice. You guys are great at this stuff.
I have a dilemma.
I got my unofficial evulaltion from Excelsior for a liberal studies degree. I need a math/science 6 credits/quantative requirement, an upper division arts and science, a depth in the arts and sciences and the info lit. requirement.

I am almost done my math requirement from Aleks so that will solve the quantitative requirement and 3 credits of the math/science. I am still trying to decide on the easiest science. I am leaning toward Race to save the planet just on the grounds I feel I have some background on it or at least more then astronomy. Although if anyone has a great argument in favor of astronomy, I am willing to listen.

My problem is my second depth. I have 4 or possibly 5 classes I have taken in English at my previous schools so that should fill out most of it. That seems my best bet, since history and psy. I have just 2 classes each and philosophy -3 classes.

But I need 1 upper division in the 2nd depth, I believe, but that would also resolve the upper division arts and science requirement. What would be the cheapest way to do an upper level english class? Is there a way besides the GRE to test out of it, cheaply? I question myself pulling off enough points to get upper level. Excelsior testing seems expensive.

Or should I test myself out doing two history classes to resolve my 2nd depth problem? I would prefer history over psychology.

Thanks for your help and suggestions.
