Age/Degree Poll
I have been thinking of posting a poll like this for a long time, but a recent post in the exams passed thread decided me! I debated internally whether to make the poll public or not and... well... couldn't resist!
 Maybe in the future it would be fun to have poll on how long it took each of us to accomplish our goal. Happy voting!

You guys are Younguns
Ok this old geezer has been working on a degree going on 35 years, I should get my AA in General studies from TESC next month if I get 2 more test in. Inwe I thought I had read somewhere that either CLEP or Dantes had age restrictions am I wrong? Did you graduate High School or GED? I have an 18 year old son who may not be graduating HS next month, I was talking to him today about testing out of some exams. He is very bright got great marks on SAT, he just doesn't like doing homework and he hates getting up early. Would you recommend testing out over B & M? I feel that testing out of basic courses is fine, but at 18 you should be enjoying the college experience with other students your age.

Hi there. I would suggest that you enable him to have the best of both worlds. Nearly 3000 universities accept CLEP for college credit. If I were in your position, I would check out a few colleges in your area and find out which exams they will accept for credit. It may take a little bit of advanced planning since you will not want him to go to a college that will not accept his CLEP exams for credit. Most colleges will post the CLEP policy on its website. I usually just type "CLEP" in the search bar on the college website and read on. Also, great marks on SAT would be a pretty sure indication that he could be quite successful with CLEP exams. I was also a very gifted student who didn't want to do homework or get up early in the morning - I sure wish my parents would have known about CLEP at that time.

I am 20. I turn 21 in June. I get to go drinking. Legally for the first time.
Anyway. I have a few certs (wont list). I Got an Associate from Penn Foster (will be done in 1-2months) AS from Rasmussen (RA) I graduate in December Then I ship off to OCS and training for Surgical Spialist. I will be gone a while. After that I begin the process of obtaining a BS Chem geared toward Pre-Pharmacy. I have taken a few fema, a few clep, 1 dsst, and 2 LSU classes. I am enrolled into excelsiors credit bank. I dont like all these transcripts. Upon entering OCS I will have two AS degrees and halfway to a BA Liberal Arts no major. I just started looking at everything and relized I can finish that the fastest through distance education. I want to go to B&M for my BS Chem because there are a lot of lab classes I have to do. Though if I realy push I might be able to have enough credits for the BA when I ship off. Anyway I think I am doing good for a 20year old who took 2 years off of high school. From reading, many of you are doing good too. INWE, you should be very proud of what you have accomplished at such a young age. As should everyone on this forum.
