Why Charter Oak State College is better than Thomas Edison State College

[KittenMittens]

TECEP is right there on the right side cut off by your picture. How can you not see it? It's the "T" in the dropdown menu. Even Uexcels are cut off in your picture. I don't know what you're using to view the website or if you changed your screen resolution or browser zoom on purpose.

Another accusation of dishonesty. Come on now... I have a 13" Retina Macbook Pro - it shows what it shows... On my screen, it's all the way to the right in a little dropdown menu. At least Excelsior exams are in the "college exam products" list. But now we're that's just being tedious. Point is most popular exams are: 1) CLEP 2) DSST 3) UExcel 4) TECEP in that order. Like I've said, I have no problem with TECEPs, but there's little information about them (and probably will be for the foreseeable future from my guesses).

I don't like the fact that you have to be pidgeonholed into taking 8 TECEP exams which makes and feels a lot more complicated, involved, and painful than having the flexibility of being able to take any exam. I know why TESC does it because they have to have a business model where they make some money. If for some reason TESC let people do the "per credit" plan without the 24 credit residency program, then I would agree with you 100% in a heartbeat. I think the idea is nice, but I don't like being forced into taking 24 credits through them particularly since there is a dearth of efficient and easy study materials/prep for it.

And that's all I have to say about all that - and I hope this discussion helps anyone who had similar questions like myself. I seriously considered TESC (and would still have preferred to do it for them), if it weren't for that pesky 24 credit requirement, and the "enrolled option" program is a decent option but generally more expensive than COSC's - even if it wasn't, the lack of organization/having to go through the maze of advisors at TESC to get any correct info is enough to dissuade me from going there. If they can release a full, clear, and accessible table like how COSC, TESC would go up even more in my book!

Good luck!
