College Credit Test Study Overview
IFY Homeschool is committed to helping kids make the most of their high school years by earning college credit while completing their high school competency requirements.
In order to accomplish this goal, IFY Homeschool has extensively researched various college testing for credit options and college.
After this thorough research, the degree program we have chosen to implement is the…
Business knowledge is a requirement in any industry. Given the nature of our situation as homeschoolers, many of our kids don’t know what they want to be when they grow up yet (a lot of adults don’t either 😉 ). Using this track for our studies makes common sense since many very educated professionals have expressed regret not having a basic business understanding when they went into their chosen profession.
Charter Oak State College (COSC) is accredited by the same college Charter Oak State College is one of 17 higher learning institutions that comprise Connecticut State Colleges and Universities.[2] It is regionally accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, and functions under the degree-granting authority of the Connecticut Board of Regents for Higher Education.

College Test Study List
This is the list of college tests (CLEP, DSST, etc.) that we will be using to complete as many requirements by testing PRIOR to enrolling in the college as a student.
Sample Weekly Schedule
This is the schedule we will use to study for these exams is below. As you can see, there is plenty of room for other homeschooling (music lessons, sports, etc.) and family activities . We participate in the Arise Speech & Debate Club, so we have a full day of club and other homework activities throughout the week. We are also part of a homeschool group, so we regularly meet for other activities.
Unit Breakdown
As you can see above, I’ve broken down the testing schedule into 3 modules; Main Unit, Sub Unit 1, and Sub Unit 2. Since different kids are at different levels in their individual learning level, I’ve attempted to break where I think it makes sense for the most kids to be able to participate together. I’ve broken each of these down in terms of pricing as well.
Main Unit
The main module is designed to take 3 hours per day of study, 3 days a week, PLUS 2 hours of online quiz/discussion time with other kids. This is 11 hours total study per week for the the main module alone.
Sun Unit 1
This is our math track, mainly. Since we will move past math requirements specifically, this unit will eventually become more business based. However, I have attempted to keep it mainly math focused, since I wanted to limit subjects like math to 1 hour a day as much as possible.
Sub Unit 2
This is our language track, again mainly. As we move past our language art requirements this unit will be a mix of various subjects.
Mix & Match Pricing
All pricing includes the full Microsoft Office Suite, Quizlet Group Games, and all Study.com resources applicable to the courses enrolled in. Also available are custom content courses for any other subject for your child to study. Choose from any of Study.com listed courses to choose one that you’re interested in. Let us know what you need.

Custom Units = $10/Month
Package Pricing

Below is a sample HS Transcript using these college test study classes for dual credit. I still have some filling in to do for the final version, but I think you can get the idea.
