Hello everyone.
This is my first post, but I have been observing this forum for quite a while now. Your posts have been extremely helpful as I've navigated the process of credit by examination. Now, in the final stages, I would love your input on the course plan I've come up with.
The advisors at TESC aren't the very helpful. (Does anyone get the feeling they've done more research about class options than the advisors have? Haha) Although I've attempted several times, I can't get a straight answer. I[B] need to know if this class plan will fill the requirements for a Bachelors of Science in Business Administration, with a focus on General Management[/B]. I've studied their website and past student's plans, and I believe it does. But [B]I'd love having a few more people read it over to be sure. Thank you!! [/B]
[Quickly, one other question: My second issue I keep running into is how the credits are placed in the academic assessment. Most of these credits I have already completed. I only have a handful of tests left. Since most credits can fit in several places, I have a hard time knowing if it will all fit in the right places. As long as my personal plan covers everything, will the credits fit correctly in the end?]

Unless you really want a GPA at TESC, you can take business communications with Straighterline. I think there is also a Saylor course and an ECE that might work. You can also save money by using ALEKS for statistics and precalculus.

Thank you sanantone and HorseManiac! I realized after I posted this that I posted a version where I accidentally got some of the tests mislabeled, I think this was the version I typed at 3am when I was freaking out about getting it all together. LOL. I do plan on taking the math classes through Aleks.

Hey thanks for the feedback! Regarding the humanities test... I have already taken all the other tests I've listed in the General Education Electives. I just need 3 more credits. Do you have any suggestions of what could fill that place, that's not already being used somewhere else? Thank you!
Update: I just thought, since I need 3 more credits in humanities, could I just move the religions test to general electives and then put the CLEP humanities test under humanities?

You're welcome! As far as I know, moving the CLEP humanities to Humanities and moving the religions test to electives should work.
