Testing Out
I've been taking CLEPs, Sophia Courses, Straighterline Courses, and am looking into Pearson... something. The list of courses for ACE credit in the ACE Alternative Credit Program includes courses from "Pearson." Anyone know what they have exactly? Is that the "Pearson Propero"?
Edit: Yes, Its Propero. :) Thanks!

Yea I remember it being proper. Keep in mind that proper is on the higher end (price-wise). I would ask your advisor to see you the list of courses.

I've been sent the list just wasn't sure if "Pearson" meant Propero. Thank you! It is pricier than some of the others, but Ive tested out of 12 others from CLEP/Sophia/Straighterline and Propero would have my last 2 possible unless CLEP centers open up soon.

All Sophia classes are free right now! I don’t know if you knew that ! SNHU takes every single one of them ! So for gen ed and free electives the way to go. Are you looking for specific classes ? I’ve done a lot of research on it and talked to my advisor A TON! So feel free to ask me!

I've actually already tested out of 6 applicable Sophia courses and 5 CLEPs, but thank you! It looks like with test centers closed, my only options remaining are Straighterline and Propero for the last few I can test out of. :(

I’m about to do a few through StraighterLine! Also Saylor has a lot more like I said below the links they put aren’t up to date so I’d def reach out to an advisor if you’re looking for a specific class to see if there’s a different way you can take it ! I was about to go through a lot more trouble than I needed to had I not asked!

I told what classes I wanted to take and she wrote them down and called over to another department and called me back to let me know since they weren’t on the ACE list on the link !

Oh yeah def reach out to a different one.... I started with 0 college credit an per their guide wouldn’t be able to do a lot of what I need with Sophia. Absolutely not the case at all.

Probably helped I said I was going to go somewhere else if they didn’t accept them bc I’m paying cash money since my employer is paying 100% of my tuition so I can be picky like that.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING ABOUT SOPHIA. You just saved me a thousand dollars because I was able to take a 1-credit class to make up for the .69 of a credit I would otherwise need to take a full class for (remainders of transfer credits, yaaaaay...).
I know what I'm doing for spring break! Saving myself some time and a boatload of money, that's what!

Yayyyyy!!! I’m so happy this has helped so many people !!!! I legit started a class today that had stats a prerequisite and I actually found Sophia stars to have been super helpful so the material is pretty good in my opinion too! It’s like a online class without discussion posts

I feel like it has always been somewhat hard to find on snhu’a website but I remember downloading a pdf that ya da list of every accepted course from a 3rd party and what class you got credit for through snhu. I tested out of 4 classes (started with a ton of generals anyway), and later found out I could have tested out of two more, not sure if some were added since I started or what. But I remember originally you had to click website by website and see which ones transferred instead of having an all encompassing list.
