However, just so you know, you can get credit for your past work experience, and sometimes even without taking a test. I am only rebutting this because I have done this personally. When I went to a community college, I was able to get the counselor to accept my own experience to fill two classes that I had not taken so that I could graduate on time. Therefore, if I could do it, anyone can. Thank you for the comment. However, just so you know, you can get credit for your past work experience, and sometimes even without taking a test.

Certifications are reasonably respected, and can be considered equivalent to things like 'credit by examination'. Credit for work experience is BS, and usually given only by disreputable universities Please don’t confuse ‘work experience’ with certifications like CLEP and AP.
