Has anyone taken the english composition 2 tecep test?

If DSST/multiple choice is something you'd prefer over having to write an essay, I would opt for the DSST over the TECEP. I found it super easy.

Related, and I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with this, by chance... (please bear with my narrative below, as it's a bit of a ride)
I've been waiting nearly a month for my score from this exam to post to TESU via the DSST test score report, with no update so far, and my TESU Advisor noted they have no record of it yet, so I reached out to DSST/Prometric this week to figure out what's up. DSST/Prometric told me by email that since I had taken this exam already in May of 2019 (which I had completely forgotten!), they (DSST) would not release the score unless I paid them $100 fee for the exam. I'm a military veteran/active DOD civilian so I was exempt from the fee because of it, which is why I didn't do that up-front.  

Here's the question/point of my comment here... Does anyone know if the older version of the DSST exam from 2019 had a course equivalency at TESU or not?
I believe the reason I never got credit from TESU for the prior DSST from 2019 is because they revamped the Princ of Advanced English DSST exam somewhere around 2020/early pandemic. Either that, or I need to have a transcript sent directly from DSST/Prometric to TESU to get the 2019 credit documented properly. It's on my Joint Service Transcript (JST, a military transcript) but I'm thinking maybe they need the score report itself(?).  
Follow-up question... since the exam I took in 2023 differed from (was a revamp, as I understand it) from the one I took in 2019, would Dantes recognize that and agree to fund it since it was different, thus triggering a release of that score report from DSST/Prometric?

Thanks in advance if you are able to help me get this figured out (at least personal expense, hopefully!).

This page from early 2020 (April) shows that the Principles of Advanced English Comp DSST was worth ENC-102 credit. https://web.archive.org/web/202004211636...talog/dsst I can't pull up anything earlier than that, unfortunately. However, it was set to expire in 2021. I believe these validity dates are good for 3 or 4 years? Even if it's only 3 years, January 2021 - 3 years = January 2018. Your exam was good.

You need to send the transcript directly from DSST/Prometric.
