What you will learn

Formulate a strategy to make the most of your time and your money through smart test-taking, by understanding when (and when not) to successfully incorporate them into your path to a college degree.

Decide exactly which tests are relevant to your degree program, when and where the tests are offered, how much they cost, and how to study effectively for them in order to pass.

Take the necessary steps to transform your prior learning and life experiences into valid and recognized college credits through testing.

Why take this course?

Get credit for what you already know! If you are in school, you owe it to yourself to learn about these programs. These tests have been around for a long time (since WW II, in fact!) and they were specifically designed to help students demonstrate what they have learned independently so as to get college credit for it. You can take advantage of these programs and earn credits cheaper and faster!

Find out how credit-by-examination programs can help you earn college credits in less time and with less money, and create your own strategy for the most effective ways to study and pass your tests.

  • You can earn credit by examination!
  • Find out about CLEP, DSST, and other testing programs.
  • Discover alternative methods of earning credit.
  • Beware of the dangers of unaccredited programs and schools.
  • Learn how to develop an effective testing strategy.
  • Plan to study for, take, and successfully pass the tests.
  • Get valuable tips to help you overcome test anxiety.
  • Gain confidence in your ability to get through school and earn your degree!

If you’re an undergraduate looking for a cheaper, faster, and more flexible way through school, or a student looking to “jump start” your college career by getting some of the basic, required subjects out of the way, then this course is for you!

If credit-by-examination is completely new to you, then you are not alone. Even in spite of many years in student services, it was only after I became a proctor for CLEP and DSST tests fairly recently that I discovered how useful these programs can be. Both programs have been around for over half a century, both are widely recognized and respected by colleges and universities, but apparently they still remain a well-kept secret in the academic world.

After about eight years as a teacher and a tutor in a homeless shelter, I formed a non-profit organization to equip working adults with the resources, strategies, and tools they need to achieve their educational goals. I am convinced that credit-by-examination may be one of the most powerful tools available to help non-traditional students get their degrees.

Non-traditional or not, if you are a student, then you too can benefit from this course. There are no prerequisites and anyone can learn these “secrets.” In fact, you will hear in the lectures about high school students who are taking advantage of these same programs right now. All it takes is a desire to learn. I hope you’ll take the next step to discover how you too can earn college credits towards your degree in less time and with less money.

I am a working adult without a college degree. I'd really thought that one day I would return to college to finish up my credits and earn the undergrad degree I started so many years ago. Life gets in the way; you know? I took this course to explore alternative ways to gain credits and maybe ease back into academics. I am encouraged that, after taking this course I can get started on my new goal of finally earning my degree.

I had researched this on my own for the past few years but the instructor provided so many resources that I had no idea about. This class is well worth it for those that are looking for breaks in achieving a degree.

I have been trying to get in healthcare, passed the TSI test, but still need to get all requirement courses. I am working and really cannot do full time study. Which I mean going to class and all that. This program helps me a lot in understanding how to get some credit without worrying about joining the classes and be able to work at the same time. Thank you!

The course delivers exactly what is stated in the description. The suggestions are sound, backed up with facts and helpful information to use in applying them. There is no magic button in life; what is presented here is of great use if one is willing to make the effort. I am glad I took the time for this course, and appreciate what it offers.

Very thorough and descriptive. Answers alot of questions for me. Only two problems with course. A. Some of the websites given would not work. B. Those websites would be easier to lookup if on the page you could make them "links". For a person like me, I got "turned off" because I had to switch back and forth on tabs between websites to put in the sites. Some of these sites were longer than my short-term memory would allow. C. Further comment.....This course was very informative and I will come back many times to gather more Information to advance myself in many ways. Thank You

There was so much here that I did not know, I am blown away by what I did not know. I have always wanted to go back to school but was too afraid to add to my already substantial student loan I am trying to pay off. Thanks for all the helpful tips and resources. Jennifer

With the rising cost of post high school education, it is wise to know options available to complete degree requirements.
