It's all about CLEP, a way you can get credit from experience.
I took some CLEP tests when I was in high school, and got some credits that I applied at the University of Wisconsin. My school (WKU) did not accept the English class credits later, and had me take them over in summer school! I believe I should have gone to talk to somebody about that.
But I was quite young when I first went to school, and thought that everyone else probably knew a lot more about these things. Which they may have.
I digress. But you do need to find out if your school will accept CLEP credits. I believe WKU does now, for all subjects. At least, I hope so!

Yupp, CLEP tests are a great way to earn college credit without all the time and money.
ReplyDeleteI guess having a clep preparation can help you get through with clep exams.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree, Anne. Some schools offer these, and you can also order classes to do at home. But the best CLEP preparation is just having talent in an area. For instance, are you great at Math? Try to CLEP out of some of these classes.
