    Default MY Miracle of Testing Out and Thank You!

    Just wanted to take a moment to reflect and thank everyone

    In August 2006 I started a degree at the University of Phoenix; it took me about 7 months to get 15 credits units with and accumulated close to $7500 in student loans
    And then I came across IC via Google search and it took me about another month or so before even discover or logon this forum.

    One night I literally spent the whole night reading through pass threads and for the first in my twenty something years on this earth I heard about the Big three and testing out
    I though it was too good to be true, but I went on and reached it and there was my miracle.
    I immediately decided to drop out of UOP and started looking at EC, after some encouragement from the wonderful people on the forum I made my final decision and enrolled at EC.
    Today just about two months in this exciting adventure I have gotten 15 more credit units between CLEP and Dantes in between work, travel and Vacation with an exact cost of $385 dollars

    Compare 15 credits units 7+ months and &7500 in student loans to 15 credit units in two months cost $382 fully paid for.

    What can I can I am so grateful, I know I still have a long way to go, but Boy I am walking on cloud 9 OH plus I have an extra 9 FEMA credits

    I just want to say thank you everyone

    Default Welcome to a new world!

    Congratulations on finding the new inexpensive way to get your degree!!! I love finding out that I'm not alone in this venture that everyone raises their eyebrows about when I even begin relating what I am doing. This method of gaining that valuable piece of paper is so flexible, and is the only way I could have conceivabley received a degree without loans. I'm so glad that you are on the path with us!
