Ryan:

I haven't started yet just finally made a choice. Need to knock
out some CLEP tests first.

As to the materials, I don't know if the audios are required but,
as I'm an auditory learner, it will be something I'll invest in.
However, you can find almost everything on half.com and a couple
of other places. Shopping around can definitely save money on
books, etc.

Perhaps we'll get started at about the same time. Who knows?
Would enjoy having someone to email with.
