Guess that just means more testing, I'll try and play guinea Pig and take my Humanities CLEP by the middle of the month and let everyone know from the TESC prospective on what they award. Please do, that would be EXCEPTIONALLY helpful for many of us holding our breath!

thanks for the heads up! Looks like I'll start re-working my plan now.

I have unbelievably poor timing. I had been occupying myself with several TECEP exams, but just two weeks ago returned to the CLEP scene for my final CLEP exams. Today I purchased and scheduled A&I as well as Spanish I/II. I was counting on 18 credits (6 & 12) from these two tests.
TESC's website hasn't been updated, but I'm not optimistic. I'll post an update once my results are posted on my transcript.
BA - History, TESC

I don't have any first hand experience with it, but it's called New York University Language Exam and is worth up to 16 credits. Price is based on how many credits you're going for. Testing and The Testing Process EDIT to add, yes, TESC accepts that exam for face value credits. ( They are also a testing center) http://www.tesc.edu/academics/catalog/NY...ciency.cfm

Checked the ACE website via the link provided but found nothing about a downgrade...did anyone recently take any of the exams listed here as downgraded?

My local Cal State University (which usually follows the pattern of all 23 CSU's, as there is a top-down policy about accepting CLEP's due to overcrowding) has downgraded all of those exams; nothing is now worth 6 credits, except that they kept the foreign languages to 6/12 credits. All sciences, maths are all 3 cr as well (and they don't even accept any of the general exams except Natural Sciences any longer).
They changed it as of 5/13. This is a big change!!

This is a bummer. I incorporated 4 of these 6-credit CLEP's into my degree plan but now I'll just be adding 4 more classes to my degree plan to make up for the 12 lost credits. Life goes on

COSC still accepted all my credits. I was just "formally" matriculated on the 19th of this month and I took A&I, English Lit, American Lit, and Humanities all before March this year. If that helps anyone... I was just glad that they still awarded me all the credits because six credit tests were a major part of my degree plan.
Also, I sent 84 credits to COSC and they were all able to be used for my degree plan. Sweet! And I'm sending nine more credit by exam credits that will all be able to be used. So my degree plan was obviously top-notch! Thanks Homeschool USA! Go there to create an amazingly accurate degree plan. Jade |
