Today my son earned his 30th college credit. That's the equivalent of 1 year of college. He started taking test and online classes in October of 2009. So, in less than 5 months with some hard work on his part, he has acquired the same amount of credits as a Freshman in College would have done. I am very proud of him for his accomplishments that he has made so far!
For anyone thinking about doing college the non-traditional way with Cleps, Dantes and online classes, I encourage you to read Accelerated Distance Learning by Brad Voeller. It is a great book to help you make decisions on which path to take and how to go about it.
The traditional college (where your rear in sitting in a seat) don't really want you to know about College-level Examination Program~Clep testing~. The test save you money and time. Each college is different on how many Clep and Dantes credits they will allow you to transfer in to their college so always check with the college you plan to attend to see how many and what test are accepted beforehand.
Here is the Collegeboard site which explains Clep testing. http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/clep/about.html
