CLEP vs Study.com vs Sophia, what's actually cheapest per credit?
Trying to figure out the cheapest way to bank some credits before/during a degree (thinking WGU but open to other options too). This is what I've found so far:
CLEP is $97 per exam plus proctoring, and you get 3 credits if you pass, so that's like $30-40 a credit if you pass first try.
Study.com is a monthly sub, for $95, unlimited courses, so the more you knock out in a month the cheaper each credit ends up being.
Sophia's pretty similar, also a subscription with ACE/NCCRS courses.
So honestly CLEP only really wins if you just need one or two and already know the material cold. I've got a whole stack of gen eds to clear, so the subscriptions seem like the move, the cheaper-per-credit thing kicks in the more you finish in a month.
Anyone actually gone that route? Curious how many you can realistically finish in a month.
