I have a question about study.com. (Working on clepping my freshman stuff for tesu). If you do the highest plan at study.com, do you still have to go to a testing center to take your clep? With schools not open and possibly not being opened for a good bit longer I was trying to figure out how to take the tests.

Study.com has their own courses that are ACE-approved, and you can take those instead of studying for CLEP exams if your school takes ACE credit. What school do you plan on going to?

if you're doing Study.com courses you can do them at home for college credit with the highest plan.
if you're doing a TECEP, you can also do those at home but you have to pay TESU. Study.com has some courses to help you study for certain TECEPs.
If you're doing a CLEP test or a DSST test or a UExcel test, you have to take all of those at testing centers. Study.com has some courses to help you study for some of those too.

I want to get the TESU BA of Liberal Studies (Health and Wellness concentration).

I'd do the Study.com courses themselves and skip the tests altogether.
Just an FYI, the Health & Wellness concentration is not able to be tested out of. I would just do a regular BALS.
I'd also consider Excelsior and/or COSC.

I highly recommend skipping the CLEP for now and work on the Sophia.org courses, it'll apply to all of the Big 3/WGU, competency based degree providers and whoever else is on their list of college/university partners. Furthermore/Moreover, it's FREE and you do it at home vs going out to a test center during this Coronavirus Pandemic. Taking all Sophia.org and FREE courses on the wiki should net you your freshman and sophomore years or more for FREE.
