TESC bachelor's with no transfer credits? Plan? Help!

At this point, you have a blank slate so any CLEP is a good start. Most people start with Analyzing and Interpreting Literature because it requires very little preparation. With average reading comprehension most people are able to pass it.

I can't speak for everyone, but I enjoy building spreadsheets to plan my degree. I have planned a couple dozen even though most are passing thoughts. I would suggest jumping onto google drive and start building a spreadsheet based on the degree you want to complete at TESC. Input all of the requirements and start plugging in CLEP and DSST exams that you believe meet each requirement. As you progress through your spreadsheet, we can help guide you toward exams that meet specific requirements. Just don't get so hung up on planning that you neglect studying for your next exam.

If there are subjects that intimidate you, I would suggest knocking them out as soon as possible. For many people, math is a hurdle and getting it out of the way eliminates stress. Aleks is a good way to meet math requirements for only $20 per month.

Don't worry about applying to a college yet. Just start knocking out exams. When you are ready to apply, you can request transcripts from each of the exam companies.

Here is a spreadsheet to get you started. You can fill in the various areas using Sanatone's plan.

It is probably a good idea to copy and paste a personal copy so that you have it.
