Options for going back to school

Step 4 – Test Out Of As Many Classes as Possible

In addition to transferring credits, you may also be able to skip ahead in your degree program by testing out of certain courses or coursework.

Check with your school’s admissions office to see if they accept exam credits, and how many. Students who take advantage of this “test out” option typically only do so for a class or two, but many schools will allow up to 30 credits.

You could graduate in a fraction of the time and save yourself thousands of dollars!

CLEP is the most well-known, widely accepted testing program. They offer 33 multiple choice tests covering introductory material taught in “general education” courses.

Your school may also accept credits from DSST or Excelsior exams.
