<p>Bumping this.</p>
<p>I ran into this discussion on another forum aimed at clep prep while looking for tips:
[Do</a> you feel like you’re sacrificing something?](<a href=“http://www.degreeforum.net/general-education-testing-discussion/10900-do-you-feel-like-youre-sacrificing.html]Do”>http://www.degreeforum.net/general-education-testing-discussion/10900-do-you-feel-like-youre-sacrificing.html)</p>
<p>Many on this forum pursue an education based on testing for credits. Some of the more voicey ones follow this belief (a post by the most recent poster):</p>
<p>“…Not saying that nobody ever learns anything by traditional college or that all college professors are wackos, but I firmly believe that I have learned more about the subjects I have studied by taking tests in less than 2 weeks time - learning all about the different sides of the material with an unbiased approach; than spending 3-4 months in a classroom being taught almost always with a biased approach to the studying material…The non-traditional way lets you be able to finish faster, finish cheaper, finish more learned, and finish with your same identity without compromising your beliefs.”</p>
<p>I’ve been watching it but there isn’t much opposition (I think there were a few posters?) as the traditional population is low. So what do dear CC kids have to say to this? Think they are sacrificing something? Think it is something you yourself would consider pursuing?</p>
