Do you really read the whole textbook from A-Z?

How far into the program are you? If you haven't done too many, you can always switch out of it and still apply those credits to other degree programs. Charter Oak has a B.S. in Cybersecurity, though the guides I've created are for pursuing a B.S. in Business Administration through Charter Oak. In the Degree Wikia (in my signature), it explains your options between the different schools.

That said, if you search around, you may find some TECEPs that are easier than others i.e. the math/computer science ones, though you may have already completed those.

Let's take a bit of a detour. I'm one of those learners that likes to go to the meat and bones of the material that I'm trying to learn. I started my journey of test taking with CLEP and DSST. Since they were the first tests I ever took I studied really hard. It took me about 50 days to study for 2 tests.

But then I got wiser. I realized I need not study harder. I can study smarter by cutting my time on textbooks and studying the flash cards, the specific feedbacks on those exams and most importantly testing the Peterson's mock exam early on in the preparation. Just a week of study and I was already passing the Peterson's tests. Another week of study I was passing the CLEPs and DSST's.

Fast forward in time, I have now accumulated around 70 credits at TESC comprising of previous college credits, CLEPs and DSSTs.

I decided it's time taking TECEP's. Now If I was aware how scarce studying materials were for TECEP I would have started it long time ago. I would have structured it in a way that time would not have been a factor. I made up my mind that the same studying pattern would also apply for TECEP alas it was a bad foresight.

I would also be doing the Network Technologies and that one seems easy enough with someone who is already computer network savvy.

Lets see someone with experience of TECEP's could chime in with some tips. :coolgleam:
