Do these credits fill TESC GEN ED requirements, or do they duplicate CLEPS?

Hi Folks!
My military ACE transcript (AARTS) was recently updated and I'm now receiving about 21 credits I didn't previously have. Here's the breakdown:
-Social Sciences (3)
-Physical Security (3)
-Applied Psychology (3)
-Principles of Supervision (3)
-Technical Writing (3)
-Computer Software Applications (3)
-Speech Communication (3)

My question is this: will these credits fill general education electives, or will they duplicate CLEPS and therefore not be added? I automatically know the Technical Writing won't transfer because I already have Technical Writing filling a Gen ed requirement. I'm more wondering about the ones where I'm taking/have taken the following CLEPS or courses:
-Social Sciences & History (will this eliminate the three "social sciences" credits?)
-Information Systems & Computer Applications (will this duplicate the Computer Software Applications credits?)
-Public Speaking (is this the same as speech communication?)
-Principles of Supervision (is this even a gen ed elective, or would it simply be a free elective?)

Thanks!

I'd say my guess is that these are gen eds:

-Social Sciences (3) (May duplicate your Soc Sci & History Exam)
-Applied Psychology (3) (Gen Ed Social Sciences)
-Technical Writing (3) (ENG-201 but will duplicate I'm sure against your Technical Writing exam)
-Computer Software Applications (3) (if it doesn't duplicate your CLEP test it may work as a general ed Nat Sci/Math)
-Speech Communication (3) (Might be accepted as COM-108 Fundamentals of Speech which is Gen Ed Humanities and different then your Public Speaking test)

Supervision is likely to duplicate your DSST credit and is credited as a Free Elective.

As far as how your CLEP/DSST credits are taken I'd say you should check out their acceptance grids on pages 193 & 194 of the college catalog:

Of your tests:
-Social Sciences & History - Good for SIX Credits SOS-101/SOS-102 (General Ed Soc. Sci)
-Information Systems & Computer Applications - 3 Credits COS-101 (General Ed Nat Sci/Math)
-Public Speaking - 3 Credits COM-209 (General Ed Humanities)
-Principles of Supervision - 3 Credits MAN-201 (Business Elective/Free Elective)

It will allow you to search all of the courses in their system so courses they don't offer are listed. This is how I predicted how my community college credits would come in. You can search by name or by subject area code (COM, PSY, SOC, etc.)

Thank you!! I love the PLA search feature. Very cool.
