Just getting started. Confused on whether to take the tests first or apply to TESC.

You can get started with exams without being enrolled anywhere. Most complete 100 plus hours before enrolling. CLEP and dsst scores are kept on file for 20 years minimal.

The purpose of the degree plans is to help you get started and have a plan without needing to consult with the school early on. TECEP and Uexcel can also be taken without being enrolled anywhere

With all that said, keep an eye on things, schools will often change rules without a great deal of notice. So there could come a time when you need to enroll to secure the degree plan you're working. For example a couple years ago TESC stopped accepting FEMA credits, those that had completed these had to go on and enroll or risk losing those credits. So pay attention!
