Reviews of ENGLISH COMP I AND II TECEP

[dfrecore]

I have not done these, but generally speaking, they are harder than the CLEP and DSST type of exams. If you use whatever you have as study, or other materials for review, it shouldn't really matter to get a passing grade. Why not just CLEP or DSST it?

I had 5 reasons to take the TECEP rather than the CLEP:
1) I already had taken English Comp I at a B&M, so I didn't really want to duplicate credits
2) My testing centers are fairly far (almost an hour each way)
3) I needed the TECEP for residency purposes
4) I am a night owl, and like to test when it's quiet after my family has gone to bed
5) The testing centers offered inconvenient times to test (middle of the day, when I'm homeschooling my kids)

Not everyone wants to CLEP/DSST, not everyone is good at test-taking (so might want to go SL instead). I'm sure others have various reasons as well. It's not the answer for everyone, even if it seems like it might be the "easiest" way to do it.
