Trying to get into grad school &...

[dharmachic]

I'm in a similar situation as you. I can't speak for TESC, but for Excelsior, if you're going for letter grades (which is recommended if you're going for grad school) take Excelsior and DANTES exams (the old version) as opposed to CLEPs, which will only be shown as Pass/Fail on your EC transcript. I see you've taken the newer version of the DANTES Intro to Computing exam, judging by the 3 digit score you got, instead of the older 2-digit score. EC's current policy is that they will issue only P/F for the newer versions. If you are near a DANTES test center that offers computerized testing, the current system will let you choose which test to take, so be sure to take the older (nothing that says "rev.2008" or similar) version.

You may have some reqs like me that are not offered either by Excelsior or Dantes exams, but CLEP. For those courses, I'm taking online classes from a regionally accredited local community college so I can receive letter grades which EC will transfer. You may want to look into that as well.

Good luck!
