To all adult learners still in college: I returned to school with about 3/4 of my courses from taking classes on and off over the years. I was able to finish my degree in '03 at the age of 54 by taking CLEP courses. They publish study books similar to the prep ones for the SATs and such tests. The website is
http://www.collegeboard.com/student/...lep/about.html

I took a quick look and the tests are now $77 and they are for a full college course credit. I took about 8 CLEP tests that were basic things like Business stuff that I had picked up over the years from working. They offer 33 tests on varied subjects and if your school accepts them they are a great way to further your education quickly and cheaply!
And BTW, I'm almost getting this algebra stuff, I was able to take a philosophy course to fulfill my math requirement, but I never did get the Algebra/physics stuff!
