Could you explain the comment highlighted in red. Does this mean TESC requires 4 classes or TECEPs be taken in order to accept DSST/CLEP/SL? How do you prepare for TECEP tests?
Thanks again, getting closer to feeling like we have a solid plan to take action on.
You would study for a TECEP the same way as you study for any other exam. On the TECEP exam page there are test descriptions which give you a breakdown on what's covered on the exam. Note: TECEPs are geared towards the recommended text which you can usually get fairly cheap by purchasing a later edition (go back 1 or 2 editions from current). I know IC has cards for Public Relations & Thought Practice, Operations Management and Strategic Management. Also Saylor has prep material that covers a few others. Either search the forum or visit saylor.org for that information.
Below are links to my posts explaining the plan, comparing pricing as well as a BSBA degree plan utilizing TECEPs. You would just follow the same example by using your AA Plan and inlcuding 4 TECEPs to meet the 12CR associates degree residency requirement. Good luck!
