Why do you quote obviously dated information and ignore the current feedback you are receiving? I have taken and passed Computer Applications, Technical Writing, and Network Technology with no study or reading. Do I need technical writing ? No, but it is cheaper for me to have the extra credit and use the TECEPs for residency. I would suggest that you try taking a TECEP before making such sweeping statements, they're not nearly as hard as you think. The quality of the data you are using is very misleading in regards to the difficulty of these tests. In comparison to CLEPs, they are harder, but with the massive amount of notes and feedback I've had from the forum members, I have yet to fail one. I have yet to take a UEXCEL, but they are more intimidating to me, because they are graded. With TECEPs, I have little risk.
I have no doubt your plan worked best for you, and may work best for some others, but I would suggest re-reading the messages you post while keeping tone in mind. I'm sure it's not intentional, but many come off as condescending and defensive. This is certainly understandable given some of the obviously racist remarks and attacks on Indian education which were baseless and downright petty. I am sure this is not the first insult and uninformed opinion you have heard on this topic, and I would suggest not demeaning any useful information you may have by mixing in retorts to this.
I would ask the reason why we have 15 pages in this thread, with the (vocal) majority saying that the plan is not ideal for them. For many of us, the plan you have posted is not the best route. Instead of trying to convince us that we do not know what is best for ourselves, I would suggest incorporating this new data into your model and take into account that the information you have mined prior to 2014/2015 is often outdated and stale.
