I plan to graduate from TESC so I paid the application fee ahead of time. I dont know if the fee is different for people who are planning to graduate from a different college or not.
I found TECEPs to be significantly more complicated than CLEP as there appears to be a lot of unnecessary waiting. For example, if you wanted to take a TECEP as soon as possible, you would have to register for it by the 17th of november and wouldnt be able to take it until the first week of december at the earliest. Furthermore, they limit how many tests you can take concurrently to 5.
As far as the exam goes, I found the TECEP to be easier than CLEP (ive only taken 1 TECEP and 2 CLEPs so far). The exam seemed to focus almost exclusively on knowing term definitions and was lacking critical thinking/comprehension questions entirely. I dont know if that perspective is shared or not since there is surprisingly little information shared on TECEPs
