Newbie BA Psych TESC lots of questions - ncimfabulous - 09-12-2009
Ok so i'm basically starting from scratch no previous credit earned etc.. I was recently laid off so i'm trying to turn all this free time I have any a degree. After I complete my B.A i plan on pursuing my master's so i will need some graded courses i'm new to this so i'm not really sure how many.
I want to take the easiest CLEP or DSST's possible that will satisfy my degree requirement screw challenging myself, i've been in and out of college since I was 18 and obviously no credits to show for it which is really sad.
Ne way someone posted a roadmap so i just modified theirs and if anybody out there has any suggestions I would REALLY REALLY appreciate it. I'm trying to do grouping so I can get these credits as fast as possible. Thank you in advance.

I think you need to move the history courses from section II Area of Study to the free elective section, as under section II Area of Study , you need 33 credits in psychology.
Also if you are good at math, Aleks may be a faster option for you.
Check with TESC to see if their TECEP Alcohol Abuse is duplication credit if you take the DSST (Drug & Alcohol Abuse <-old test title) Substance Abuse.
Will you be using FEMA credits to fill in missing free electives ?

Yes I will be using fema as my free electives for as many credits as they accept.

Is there any way to test out of the experimental psych requirement? There is no tecep for it anymore.
Also, does dsst principles of statistics or clep college mathematics cover the statistics req?
Also, can you use fundamentals of counseling for the major?
Newbie BA Psych TESC lots of questions - bricabrac - 03-10-2010
dsst principles of statistics or ALEKS stats YES
can you use fundamentals of counseling for the major?
