New to Credit by Exam

[cookderosa]

I'm ready for the next step and also working on mapping, but I have a couple of questions for the seasoned guys.

1. Transferability of CC credits to TESC.
I have 6.0 (3.0x2) credits from Saddleback CC (CA). When I transferred them to another CC (Sinclair, OH), the receiving CC gave me 9.0 credits (4.5x2) for those two classes. What can I expect when I transfer those Saddleback CC credits to TESC, and how does TESC normally evaluate those? You'll be required to provide Saddleback transcripts. TESC is on the credit hour system (like Saddleback) so they'll come in as 6. Sinclair is on the quarter system. 6 semester hours is equal to 9 quarter hours.

Do they give more weight to those Saddleback CC credits, as Sinclair CC did, or would it be equal 3.0 = 3.0 credit? It's not weight, it's the unit they use. One thing to watch for, anything you earned at Sinclair will be LESS when it goes to TESC. Student Quarter Credit To Semester Credit Conversion | ACE.edu

2. Short list of next few exams.
Now that I have my first CBE under my belt (CLEP: A&IL), I'm ready for the next one. Here is my short list of what to take next, in order of least difficult:
College Comp, American Lit, English Lit, Humanities. I pulled this order from several other postings on here, but wanted your feedback for fast and furiously easy.

If English is your native language, I'd suggest comp! English 101 / 102 will include comprehension as well as grammar and a written essay. Besides working on your essay, much of this you might already know.

3. One more slightly-off question.
Since I'm shooting for a BA, is there any point/reason for an AA? What are the pros/cons in terms of future career opportunities?

It actually looks funny that I went from an AA to a BA in one semester, so rather than invite questions, I leave it off. OTOH, since my first associate degree didn't contribute any credit to my BA, I kinda felt like I wanted it because I'd earned it from scratch! 6 of one, half a dozen of the other. You have to pay an additional fee (few hundred if memory serves) and you have to wait at least 1 quarter in between the conferral of each degree.
