TECEP Computer Concepts and Applications HELP!!

[SammyHam]

Yeah, very basic study would get you the pass... I would do the CLEP/MS freebies online and/or the ones with OER's just as prep...

I just took this exam today. It was a motherf’er. Maybe something has changed, as the exam didn’t seem to follow the topic weighting provided in TESU’s exam overview. 

This is supposed to be a comprehensive introduction to various computer concepts. The first 30 questions were almost entirely about PowerPoint (5 to 10 may have been about Word). After the first part, I thought, “okay, that was weird, but at least no more PowerPoint.”

Wrong. Section two began with more PowerPoint questions (and some Word). This exam really wasn’t about computer concepts and applications at all. While the exam did cover some of those areas, it felt more like an exam about Microsoft Office, with general computer concepts as a bonus. 

That said, I passed right on the nose with a 70. Brush up in general (I didn’t study much, just took some practice tests and quizzes), but pay extra attention to PowerPoint, and Word, assuming you have a decent computer concepts understanding aside from that.
