There's a reason why less people report information about TECEPs here because less people are taking them. UExcels are more popular partly because there are far more students attending Excelsior - and instantcert.com picked up on that. I trust instantcert.com in what they prepare for flash cards than what one student may have done. I think instantcert.com probably goes through several trials and rounds of revising their notes before finalizing it. That's because they have a vested interest in producing quality products with solid student feedback/data otherwise people would look for better resources. Instantcert.com has been very good on providing accurate review information for exams and in particular for any/all the exams I've mentioned beforehand.
Knowing what to expect, and how others fare is extremely valuable information
I briefly looked at some TECEPS (The ones that were covered by instantcert) but feedback was scarce and the few that were there said those exams were very hard (some/all of them are writing not multiple choice). Instantcert.com doesn't even advertise TECEPs, they only advertise CLEPS, DSSTs, and UExcels. I think most students are more comfortable doing a multiple choice exam where you don't need to fully know something and can guess correctly/be familiar with something. Again, I don't care about mastering the subject, I care about getting quickly getting credit at least attempting to get a good/decent GPA.
