Looking over the forum for info on filling 'Computer Concepts and Applications/Introduction to Computers/CIS'.
I see the choices are CLEP, the DSST, and Saylor CS101. I am looking over Saylor and it seems to be java programming oriented, but it does not count as programming?
I have c/c++ programming experience and I was planning on taking a C++ programming class for Programming specialization. Not real interested in plowing through all of that Java stuff if I don't have to.
Has anyone with IT background taken the CLEP? What study guides did you use? I looked over the sample questions, they are all easy to answer.
CC: American History I, Calculus I, Raquetball, Technical Drawing
ALEKS: Intermediate Algebra, College Algebra, PreCalculus, Intro to Statistics
TEEX: Cyber Security for Everyone, Cyber Security for IT Professionals, Cyber Security for Business Professionals

I haven't taken the CLEP, but the saylor course is directed towards java. It does not get programming credit at TESC as far as I've been told.
Straighter line has a C++ course that I found trivial. It can be completed quickly if you already have a good grasp of the language.
The Computer Concepts and Applications TECEP is really simple. If you have a tech background, you will likely pass this without any review. I went this route to fill in one of my TECEPs I need for residency.
Currently studying for: Still deciding.
Done!

I went through the CLEP Test Guide from 2012 for "information systems and computer applications". Its light, looks like I will go that route vs CS101.

I was looking at that TECEP as a throwaway also, maybe it will fit into gen-ed or a free elective?
