No use taking the TECEP only to find out they won't accept it.Yeah I checked the tecep and asked they appoved it. I can have max of 4 p/f courses towards my degree and this counts as one of them. Clep and other stuff is CBE so it counts different but is still accepted.
Second, no one will have taken both the TECEP and the CLEP, so it's hard to compare them. I'm betting most people won't have taken the TECEP because there are so many other cheaper options out there. I would probably study for the CLEP, and then if you don't get a 58, take the TECEP.
BTW - I thought Microeconomics was one of the harder courses/exams I took, but I mostly just didn't like/wasn't interested in the topic. I took Macroecon 20 years ago and got a B, so it's not like it's impossible - just not my cup of tea.
Probably no one has taken both. But I figured someone has taken the tecep and someone has taken the clep. I would have options of both.
The other option which I know will count is asu earned admission 8 week online course but that is more money and time. But I might consider it. Econ is the last 100 level class I need. The rest of my courses for my degree at 300/400 level I cant find or do test out.
I'm really leaning towards the tecep. Because I need to renew my tesu catalog so I need sign up for a tecep anyways might as well.
Maybe I'll take the clep first because it's free as like a practice test for the tecep. If I happen to pass then I'll pick another tecep.
