Penn Foster seemed the best way out for me. The course itself was very instructional, and I did very well on the 3 unproctored and untimed exams . However, the 1 hour timed proctored exam was terrifying for me! In fact, I was such a nervous wreck, I was physically sick for 2 days afterwards. This exam was not only timed, but was also not multiple choice. I'm not sure if I passed it or not, but I am confident that I will be able to pass the re-take if need be. Having said all that, I do not feel that I could not have fulfilled the statistics requirement any better way- and it was a very inexpensive course as well. If worse comes to worse and I do not pass the re-take exam, I'm pretty confident that the learning I recieved would probably suffice to get me through the DSST Statistics exam. So... I think it was very worthwhile in getting me to where I need to be. Additionally, I recieved very good support from the school with all of my questions.

I believe I read in here that if you did very well on the unproctored exams and you fail the proctored exam, you might still be able to pass based on your cumulative score (if it is high enough).
The thing I do like most about this is, there seems to be multiple options for credit by exam. If you fail one method, you more than likely have one or two other methods to seek out. (CLEP/DANTES/ECE/TECEP/PF)
