A few months ago we talked with Monica who told us how her son used CLEP testing to help him get his Bachelor's by 18. That was several years ago and she was worried that some of the info might be dated. Then, I met my friend Amber over the summer. Her son Evan followed a specific homeschool track and finished High School at 14, and then his Bachelor's degree in 18 months. (He technically will be done in May.) It cost them $13,000 and the benefits will blow your mind. This episode really left my husband and I considering this path so I hope it helps you too!
