Advice on CLEP's to take for associates/bachelor's at TESC

Well, I am going to be finishing up my TESC degree in the next year or so. I am not an expert but I can share what I did. You send TESC all your transcripts from all the colleges you've attended so far. Send them your joint services transcript if you were in the military. Send them any training you have received. I don't know if you are in nuclear power or not, but a NRC license counts for a lot. About 60 credits. So, they (TESC) will do an evaluation of your credit and send you a document showing what classes you lack to attain your degree. I took that paper and just systematically planned out my own path. You bounce the things you have left versus what CLEPS and DANTES tests exist. My plan was to maximize standardized testing and minimize actual attendance at a school for time and financial reasons. You start ordering the quick study guides for the tests you want. Start knocking them out. Pretty soon you'll be to the point where your standardized test phase is over and you have to attend a school to get the last few classes. I had to do this for two classes that required a LAB and one class for which no standardized test exists.
