Updated Big 3 Comparison

[Elinor]

And here's where TESC kinda beats the other 2. They have the 100, 200, 300, 400 assignment system: for any degree, you need 33 concentration credits – 6 of those credits can be at the 100 level (which every CLEP and DSST is at the very least), 9 of the credits can be at the 200 level (which very many of the CLEPs/DSSTs are) and 18 need to be at the 300 level (which they offer way more than just the standard 9 UL exams). So for TESC, it is way easier to acquire your UL credit because, for example, the Principles of Management CLEP is considered 300+ level at TESC while that CLEP is always LL at either of the other schools. So that means there are certain majors that you can completely test of.

Thank you so much for this! Ever since I heard about the new requirement for the UL credits with TESC, I've been scouring the forum for anything and everything without much success, probably because it is new. I was really discouraged that I wouldn't be able to test out of nearly as much as I originally thought. At least, without changing majors.

Is there anywhere that says which tests are counted as what at TESC (100, 200, etc.)?

Now, I'm going to print off your comparison and highlight every relevant area. I think, at this point, TESC is still the best option for me. Again, thanks so much!
