Congratulations!!!
As a psych major at TESC, I'd like to hear your thoughts on testing out of the psych requirements. Any tests to avoid, any easy tests, etc.

A psych BA is my goal as well and I'd like to second this sentiment.
Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.

I may not be the best help as half of my psych courses were done at a traditional school. However, I did do the ECE for Research Methods which I HIGHLY recommend as the class itself is pretty tedious. It's a tough test but doable.
As to others, I did the ECE for Adulthood and Aging which isn't too bad if you've taken or CLEPed Human Growth and Development.
I did the DSST for Counseling which was fairly straightforward.
I did CLEP Human Growth as well as Ed Psych to fill a credit gap I had. Ed Psych wasn't hard but also not as easy as some make it out to be. A lot of vague questions.
Oh and I also took a DSST for Substance Abuse which can be used as a psych course. It was one of the easier ones. InstantCert by itself will get you through this easily.
For all of these, InstantCert was a major help.
I'd also suggest taking the intro to World Religion DST as it will give you some padding in upper level courses and it's a fun and relatively easy test. Again, instantcert is more than enough, but make certain to know your Eastern religions.

I just took this test a couple days ago and I agree. I thought for sure I had failed it, was shocked to see a 59 at the end.
Thanks for the info, and congrats again!
