Hey Rusty!
To answer question number 1, the answer is a big fat "NO!!!" The Financial Accounting CLEP is worth only 3 credits. The Old Principles of Accounting exam was worth 6 credits because it did include both Financial Accounting and Managerial Accounting.
CLEP has eliminated the Managerial Accounting portion because I believe the failure rate was too high. So now it is just Financial Accounting only, and again is worth only 3 credits.
To answer question number 2, DSST Introduction to Computing is counted as a Natural Science/Math credit at TESC. Although I'm not sure how they assign this credit at other institutions. The Information Systems and Computer Applications CLEP should be listed under the Business category and therefore should not duplicate credit.
The information that I've given you has been given to me by many members on this forum. As I am a big fan of "being on the safe side," it wouldn't hurt to shoot TESC an email to confirm what I just said.
Hope this information helps some. If there is anything else that you need, give me a holler.
Peace be with you always.
From a loyal degree seeker,
Marshall
