Free College Credit from TEEX!

I realize this thread is over 2 years old however the courses are still there, and presumably still yield credits.

For people that are desperate to get credits but refuse to actually learn anything this can be gamed. There are 4 answers but you get 5 attempts. Math indicates you could simply choose A for every question, review results in a new browser tab and retest in a separate tab. For any answer that is wrong select B, and keep repeating until you get 100% (which will take at most 4 attempts leaving you 1 spare test). You dont even have to read the questions. This of course lets people save, compile and trade answer sheets for all of these to cut down on the time required to get perfect scores. sigh.

Things like this probably led to 2 of the big 3 dropping or making it expensive to import FEMA credits since it is not proof that you know anything, or for that matter even read the questions on the test. Then again it may be totally unrelated, I did not really investigate why they dropped (TESC) or made transferring expensive (EC).

That sounds like a lot of work. It would be less tedious to just read the modules. They aren't that long.

FEMA IS courses are not ACE-recommended for college credit. That puts the onus of evaluating the courses on the college. ACE recommendations are accepted by many colleges, and accrediting organizations don't seem to have a problem with it. That is why it's an easier decision to accept the TEEX courses.
