I would like to keep the credits coming but am unsure on what to take next. I have macroeconomics scheduled for Oct, but that seems to be a tough one that I'm going to start studying for soon. But in the meantime, looking for something quick and easy. I might do US History 2 as I found US History 1 easy enough, but would appreciate other suggestions.
Also, do I need to re-apply at TESC to keep them holding my credits? It's been more than 6 months since I first applied.
To answer a few of your questions:
-I failed Macro by one point (and didn't need it anyway) so study up for that one. It seems to be easier for some than for others.
-If you liked US I then US II would be a good progression, I went with CLEP Social Sciences instead without the other social science related courses completed you might not do well on that one.
-For now you should consider completing the ALEKS and Straighterline courses you need, and maybe add in something like DSST Management Information Systems which should fit into your open Nat Sci/Math requirement.
-From the previous post, courses like CLEP Management do not count as General Education Electives. Check the TESC catalog and look for courses that are listed under Humanities, Nat Sci/Math, or Social Sciences.
-Once you apply you have six months to enroll. If it has been over six months you will probably have to reapply when you are ready to get moving again and may have to submit scores again. After those six months all bets are off on whether or not they have your scores still.
-If you are not ready for graduation within a year just accumulate the credits where they are and bring them again, paying TESC and then having the six months expire won't help much in the end. When are ready send in the scores again and you'll be all set to get your degree.
My completed "non-traditional" credits include 27 credits from CLEP, 30 credits from DSST, 6 credits from ALEKS, 19 credits from FEMA courses including PDS, 3 credits from NFA courses, 10 credits from ACE Workplace Training, 3 credits from a TESC TECEP exam, and 3 credits from a TESC PLA course.
