Default new to credit by examination

Hey,

I've just started credit by examination. I want to pursue a business degree but am unsure of which of the Big 3 to take it from. I would like to earn my degree almost totally by examination.

so far I have about 30 community college credits.

8 fema credits

and just earned 6 today

clep intro to psych 62 with Rea guide and instantcert. took about a week to study

dsst intro to computers 55 decided to take it on a whim with no studying

any advice for a newcomer?

Default Follow the advice

I guess I'm still new here, but what I suggest is follow all the advice posted on here. Especially in the "Specific Exam Feedback" section. I have not failed a single CLEP/DSST since finding this forum and studying IC.

I would recommend applying to at least 2 of the big three (EC and TESC) and finding out how many credits you have left to complete after they complete their initial assesment. At which point, you can enrol in the school that make the most sense for your situation.

Read this thread, which compares the two business program witha concentration of IT (since it seems you have some IT knowlege)
