Challenging

I talked to HQ this morning. I can challenge this prerequisite course at a cost of $50 -- much better than $500.00! I get the textbook, and can write an online exam within one month. If I was to fail, I would have to wait and take it at another time, but I know this stuff, so with the textbook and some brushing up on a few things, I'm not worried. Once I have that, then I can look at the next step. :-)
