Can I test out of an English Degree?

Is this what it would cost? This would be great.....I'm a student at TESC currently...

Application for Excelsior $75
Enrollment Fee $895
Graduation Fee $495
GRE Exam Fee $140

Total $1605

Does TESC offer GRE and exactly what is GRE?

Charter Oak will award 18 credits with a score of 40%. This is half of their Literature concentration. CLEP Analyzing & Interpreting Literature is another 6 credits. That leaves 12 credits that must be taken with classes.

Almost.

Option 2
The GRE Subject Test in Literature, evaluated at 18 credits (15 lower, 3 upper), plus 18 credits approved by the faculty, beyond the lower level, and at least 12 of which must be upper level. Introductory English and American Literature courses or CLEP tests will be duplicative.

I think the treatment of any CLEP or DSST credits as duplicative when combined with a GRE is consistent for both Charter Oak and Excelsior for all majors/concentrations. Not sure about any other schools.

Take the subject GRE and score in the 80+ percentile and Excelsior will grant you 30 credits, enough for the entire Major. It will cost you a whopping $140 for the chance to earn 30 credits.

The more I hear about GREs the better they sound! Would it be pointless for me to take both the English Comp w/Essay CLEP and the English GRE?
