It says I need 6 credits in Natural Science/Math distribution, 10 credits in Additional professional or Arts and Sciences, 1 credit in Social Science/History Distribution and 1 credit for Information Literacy. These are all I need to complete my associates degree. Can I test in all these and then enroll and turn them in??? Also which tests would be the best to take to get done quicklly? Thanks

Hi again!
I am 17 credits away from the same degree.
You do not need any upper-level credits for this associate degree. If you are going on to a Bachelor's degree through Excelsior, though, it would not hurt to try an upper-level exam now.
I would recommend looking through the CLEP and DSST list in the "Student Guide to Credit by Exam", which is on Excelsior's website. You can choose any tests from those lists that fit those categories and do not duplicate the credits you already have.
Again if you are going on to a Bachelor's degree that may affect what you want to choose now.
