A lot of schools offer credit by exam for the intro classes. Very few people take advantage of the opportunity so it's not highly known. You need to be enrolled and you need to look in the school's catalog to see what they offer. You can even take the exam in one school and transfer the credits to another school where you want to graduate. Look at junior colleges. They are easy to enroll in and you can transfers the credits to a four year university. Don't expect to get a degree by exam but you can get some of the intro and general education classes out of the way. Also there are so many schools doing remote that it's a very good time to enroll in a school and never have to go to a classroom. This expands your choices.
