I finally got all of my transcripts there and received my evaluation. I have attached my evaluation as well as the details on my B&M credits and CLEP/DSST's...
Can anyone offer some insight into a couple of things - I am not sure I understand!
Questions:
Why would CLEP Analyzing and Interpreting Literature not be accepted for the remaining 6 humanities credits?
Why would the accept my credit for Micro Econ but not Macro Econ? (If I am reading that right...)
Why would so few of my courses not count towards general electives or Business Electives? I would have figured more of my courses would have counted...?
Which class could I test out of to complete my General Management requirements?
My hope is to test out of any much as possible - any ideas on how to get this done?
Thanks for all of your help (in advance)! This forum is invaluable!

Questions:
Why would CLEP Analyzing and Interpreting Literature not be accepted for the remaining 6 humanities credits? I see A & I lit listed under humanities so I'm confused, it is in the right spot and you have no openings for six humanities credits
Why would the accept my credit for Micro Econ but not Macro Econ? (If I am reading that right...) I don't see a Macro Course on there anywhere, if you got a 50 or more on it and it was sent with the other scores then you should email or call TESC. They have made mistakes before but they usually fix them without issue.
Why would so few of my courses not count towards general electives or Business Electives? I would have figured more of my courses would have counted...? All of your courses except those from FEMA are in Gen Ed or Business areas and in the right spot. Are you missing credits? Anything that isn't used should be at the bottom and all they have listed is a bunch of FEMA credits
Which class could I test out of to complete my General Management requirements? For business electives you can do:
Money and Banking (DANTES Examination)
International Finance (TESC examination)
Security Analysis and Portfolio Management (TESC examination)
Advertising (TESC examination)
Marketing Communications (TESC examination)
Marketing Management Strategy (TESC examination)
Marketing Research (TESC examination)
Advanced Labor Relations & Collective Bargaining (TESC examination)
Human Resources Management (TESC course OR DANTES examination)
Industrial Psychology (TESC examination)
International Management (TESC course)
Introduction to Operations Management (TESC examination)
Labor Relations and Collective Bargaining (TESC examination)
Management Information Systems (DANTES examination)
Organizational Behavior (TESC examination OR DANTES examination)
Organizational Theory (TESC examination)
And probably others along with courses you can do through Straighterline or another school, those are just the ones listed on TESC's Degree Guide. You've also taken some of those.

As far as completing the exams you should probably pair up related exams and just get going. Your testing center might allow more than one to be taken at a time, just make sure to study up.
My completed "non-traditional" credits include 27 credits from CLEP, 30 credits from DSST, 6 credits from ALEKS, 19 credits from FEMA courses including PDS, 3 credits from NFA courses, 10 credits from ACE Workplace Training, 3 credits from a TESC TECEP exam, and 3 credits from a TESC PLA course.
I couldn't find the following on the transcript, however,you have them listed on the completed list:
World Civ 1 NO credit
Decision Math NO credit
Musc App NO credit
Bio 2 NO credit
World Lit NO credit
Principles of Management - NO credit
Personnel Admin - NO credit
Principals of Macroeconomics - NO credit
When did you take these tests/courses?

I'm a little disappointed in the looks of those trancripts evaluations. I figured they would be a little more intelligible than that. I can't tell what the hell they really want, they leave it up to you to figure it out. I kind of expected something a little more explanatory like, this is how many credits you will need for your prescribed degree and the course of action you need to take. Here are credits we accepted, and credits we did not accept for so and so reason. I didn't like the way they did it. I'm going to pay 80 bucks too whenever I get mine. I haven't paid it yet, but the transcripts are being sent to them, TESC.
Ok, never mind, I see something on the top after looking at it again.
S.H. S.H. Applied S.H. Comm Coll S.H to Overall TESC
Required to Degree Req Remaining S.H. Applied be Planned GPA Met GPA
120.00 79.95 40.05 0.00 40.05 YES
I see you must have been hoping for more credits applied to your degree, therefore, you got a little disappointed. Looks like you got quite a ways still. Like around 14, 3cr hour courses at least. That's alot. I'd be looking at clepping out if you are persistent in getting a degree. And for crying out loud, take your sweet time.
Yea, I don't know why your other courses were not accepted unless they just didn't fit into your degree plan. Maybe those credits not accepted were electives that were too many for that particular degree plan is all I can think of. I wouldn't get discouraged though. This seems to be the right place for you and if you follow the plan here like alot of people do, you can probably get by with a degree and only having paid BEANS for your degree compared to most. This is depending on how smart you are about it.
If the courses that weren't on the eval were B&M, then perhaps they did the eval without them? were any other courses you submitted from the same school on the eval?

Just e-mail TESC asking them to apply your other courses to your evaluation - I had to do the same as my transcripts arrived piecemeal. I believe they will do 2 evaluations before you enroll.
BA in Natural Sciences/Mathematics, 2013 - TESC - Arnold Fletcher Award AAS in Applied Computer Studies, 2013 - TESC
116 B&M Credits
32 FEMA Credits
9 ALEKS Credits - Intermediate Algebra, College Algebra, Trigonometry
9 Straighterline Credits - Business Communication, Microeconomics, English Composition II
6 TESC Credits - Global Environmental Change
3 DSST Credits - Environment and Humanity
They must not hace been finished with the evaluation! This is MUCH CLOSER to what I was hoping for!
I am having trouble deciphering exactly what I have open...
Prin Of Finance - will DSST
Precalc - I had college algebra so I am not sure what would meet this requirement - should I pursue ALEKS or Straighterline? Math after 20 years is SCARY!
Business Policy/Strategy - options other than taking the class?
Will Complete Straighterline Managerial Accounting to meet General Management Speacialization - will that work?
Also - on my Reward Systems Course they are saying that I must demonstrate currency - any idea on how to do that? If I cannot do that - what else might I be able to CLEP or DSST?
