DOD has never paid for TECEP exams.  TECEP is new compared to CLEP, DSST, ECE (UExcel) exams.  More "prestigious" colleges rarely accept more than 30 SH of CLEP and DSST vs. the Big 3 that accept 117/120.  That's what makes them the Big 3.

Are you sure that TA won't cover TECEPs?

If they do its new.  They even stopped UExcel to cut costs.  CLEP/DSST are cheap.  UExcel and TECEPs are more expensive.

There's a difference between the program that covers CLEP and DSST and TA that covers college courses and vocational training. At a little over $100 for all TECEPs and most Uexcels, they are a lot cheaper than the maximum $250 per credit hour TA covers for college courses.  CLEP and DSST aren't being covered by TA; it's a separate DANTES program.

The funny part is if DOD wants to save money they should cut out some of the CLEP/DSST with 10% pass rates and add high pass rate UExcels and TECEPs.  They should set a bar like 50% to fund.  Exams below 50% make me take the real course with a much higher completion rate.  Say American Gov at at local CC and not the exam which was about a 10% pass rates when I was talking CLEP/DSST/ECEs/UExcels.
