TESC BSAST and calculus questions

[skyfall123]

Except he needs 6 credits of Calculus and the USDA route will only net him 4...

Already had the discussion with TESC, they will accept the USDA Calc I & II as fulfilling the requirement. Word of caution, it is not the overall amount of Calc credit, but the sequence of Calc I & II taken together that is the critical requirement. The exception with TESC is that if you pass the second course of a sequence (Calc II), then the requirement for the full year is fulfilled (with the exception of Eng I and Eng II). The challenge is that in order to handle Calc II (differential) you will need a solid foundation in Calc I (intregal).


Explanation for why USDA is easiest option. It costs $295 per course. The USDA program is self paced. You have around 10 chapters assignments which are open book and worth 70% of your grade. You are required to answer 10-15 questions per assignment (showing all work). If you get the open book end of chapter assignments correct then you will have earned enough (70%) to pass the course. Although you still need to take the final exam in a proctored environment, you are not required to pass the final exam to pass the course. If you take your time and do all of the open book chapter assignments correctly, then you will have earned enough (70%) to pass.
