Easiest TESU 1 Credit Course for gpa? - Toastmaster - 12-23-2017
Yep, just that simple, lol
At first, I didn't really care about the idea of a gpa since I've tested out of most of my degree anyway. Now however, I'm rolling around the thought in my mind. I know no one will be "fooled" if they bother to look at the transcript, but I'm thinking about having a good, just to say I have one.
Humor me please, what the easiest/quickest TESU course to take for a gpa?
Thanks!

People here have suggested PLA-100.

There are a handful to choose from. You’re going for a BSBA right? How many credits are you needing for graduation? If it was for the BALS and you need the extra credits for free electives, I would choose any of the following. This is going from what I think should be easiest to hardest.
1. PLA 100 - Prior Learning Assessment
2. APS 100 - Medical Terminology
3. ENG 298 - Jane Austen...
4. CHE 128 or PHY 128 - CHEM I or PHY I Lab
5. CHE 129 or PHY 129 - Chem II or PHY II lab, only if you are missing a lab
If you really want that gpa, my pick would be a coin toss between 1 and 2.
Update. Check if you need general Ed’s, free electives or specific areas, PLA course should be Gen ed or free electives.
Medical Terminology is only for free electives

I think you can take the Cornerstone for GPA. Some people said it took them about an hour.
RE: Easiest TESU 1 Credit Course for gpa? - jsd - 12-23-2017
The conerstone is non-graded
Here's all the one credit courses aside from the cornerstone from a list I compiled in March. I assume no more have been, but I haven't checked.
APS-100 Medical Terminology
CHE-128 General Chemistry Labs I
CHE-129 General Chemistry Labs II
ENG-298 Jane Austen: Pride and Prejudice
NUC-238 Radiation Analysis Laboratory
PHY-128 Physics I Lab
PHY-129 Physics Lab II
PLA-100 Introduction to Prior Learning Assessment

Does the capstone contribute to your GPA?
RE: Easiest TESU 1 Credit Course for gpa? - jsd - 12-23-2017
Yes, the capstone counts (now that you can no longer TECEP out of any of them)
RE: Easiest TESU 1 Credit Course for gpa? - High_Order1 - 12-23-2017
NUC-238 is 3 credits in the 16-17 catalog (considered it for portfolio)
LIB-495 is graded. All the stuff they accepted from my previous cc attempt, and my police academy came in graded, too.

Outside grades are removed from your final, official transcript and only your institutional GPA is shown.

Thank you! 1 credit is just $366 with the Study.com discount, right? Swore I saw that somewhere.
