Need to Hire Degree plan expert for BS or BA at Thomas Edison TESC

TESC's policies have changed a lot and continue to do so. You'll be enrolling with PPC tuition soon anyway, so you will get an initial evaluation. Just apply, send both schools' official transcripts, and they will do the rest in a few (up to 8, I think?) weeks. Once that is done, you can always question reasons if they do not use the credits, appeal, and/or see if they are eligible for ACE transcribing. And, if they're not, it's just going to save you 1 or 2 tests.

In the meantime, Sanantone's and KayV's posts have listed the tests you need, and other than the question of if and where those prior courses might fit, you've got an open list for a starting point. Perhaps pick a Gen Ed exam or three to start studying for (and take, when ready - have scores sent direct to TESC when you sit the exams to save a transcript fee) and jump on in! There is no reason to wait.

As far as a course to take for a GPA... You can do that; a lot do because we like to see that number on the final transcript. But, you do not have to if it will cost more than you are comfortable spending, or take longer than your timeline allows. If grad school is on the horizon, those schools will require transcripts direct from each credit source and will calculate a GPA themselves (i.e., they'll ignore TESC's GPA even if it exists). The exception regarding a need for graded coursework comes in for highly-competitive grad schools that require a certain number of graded credits vs. how many CBEs you use. But, there again, most will have some wiggle room for special cases, and a business exec. with proven real-world mgmt. experience and a unique path to a legitimate degree should make a case for you to request exception with a good sales pitch on your part. And, there are also quite a few ExecMBA (and similar cert.) programs that put most of the decision weight on the experiential resume. So, take a course if you want, or don't. You can get into a good grad certificate program either way.

If you don't like the choices presented, you can change them. I categorized tests by category; I might need to add a couple of new ones. UptonSinclair has helpful spreadsheets in his signature.

If the spreadsheet you need isn't here, I would be happy to adapt one.
