Residency waiver fee payment means no cornerstone (TESU)

[dfrecore]

Taking the TECEPS is time consuming and to be honest I've considered (as others on this forum too) a bunch of times just coughing up the $2000 to waive doing the rest of them.

I've actually not heard anyone on this forum think that $2000 is a good trade off for that, but maybe I missed it somewhere.

If you're only looking at 5 TECEP's (or is it 8?), there are ones that aren't as time-consuming as others. First and foremost, you could always repeat any ones that you've already taken, which would not be time-consuming at all (since you already know the material, it's the exact opposite of time-consuming). There are also TECEP's that fit in with other things you're already studying for: Applied Math if you're taking ALEKS Intermediate Algebra, or Computers if you've studied for the Info Sys CLEP exam. Third, there are the TECEP's that you need for your degree anyway; if you need Microecon for your business degree, it's not any more time-consuming to study for the TECEP than it is to study for the CLEP. If you need English Comp, I think it's MUCH easier to take the TECEP than the SL course. I have taken 5 TECEP's and recommend them. If you can fit them into your degree plan, they are very convenient, and if you choose the right ones, fairly easy.
