Where can I take online Physics exams (Bachelor's level) without class

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers on the possibility of taking online physics exams at the Bachelor's level without attending classes, focusing on obtaining academic certification in various physics subjects through remote assessments.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses a desire to take remote online exams in several physics subjects to obtain a certified marksheet.
  • Another participant notes that in the US, Japan, and Europe, it is generally not possible to obtain academic credentials solely by taking exams.
  • A participant humorously imagines scenarios involving online accredited degrees and exam-taking for others, suggesting skepticism about the legitimacy of such schemes.
  • One reply mentions the availability of CLEP exams for lower-level courses but indicates that none are specifically tailored to the original request. They suggest considering online programs through accredited institutions, particularly for those in the US.
  • Another participant recommends Thomas Edison State University as an example of a reputable school offering online courses and degrees, while advising flexibility in pursuing options if attending classes is not feasible.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus; multiple competing views remain regarding the feasibility and legitimacy of obtaining academic credentials through online exams without attending classes.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include the lack of specific information on accredited online exam options for the subjects mentioned and the geographical constraints affecting the availability of programs.

Who May Find This Useful

Individuals interested in self-studying physics and seeking certification, as well as those exploring online education options in STEM fields.

I self study Physics for a long time. But I have no academic certification. I want to take remote online exams for the following subjects and get my certified marksheet- 1. Atomic & Molecular Physics. 2. Quantum Mechanics-I. 3. Computer Fundamentals and Numerical Analysis. 4. Electronics-I. 5. Nuclear Physics-I. 6. Solid State Physics-I. 7. Mathematical Physics.

In the US, Japan, and Europe at least, one cannot get an academic credential simply by taking exams.

Here's me picturing an on-line accredited BSc degree. :wideeyed: Here's me picturing myself offering to take the exam for somebody, for the right price. :woot: Here's me telling the people running the scheme that I'm keeping the money, but here's the name of the person who gave it to me. 🤪

I think the best you can hope for is study programs that may assist you in taking a degree program at a school.

There are CLEP exams for Freshman and Sophomore level courses. None are directly specific to your request. You might consider an on-line program through an accredited program, but if you are not in the US, I wouldn't know what to suggest. For anyone in the US that cannot attend school in a conventional manner, there are some pretty good reputable schools that offer courses and degrees online. One such school is Thomas Edison State University (A state school in NJ, yeah...New Joisey!). If you cannot find a way to attend classes you will have to be flexible in what you pursue.
