Accuplacer for 18 year old
#1
Anyone know what score is needed on this test for admission? If you are 18 or 19, you have to take the accuplacer test before they will approve your application. She has 58 credits from Sophia and several from Cleps. I went ahead and sent her ACE transcript to TESU and applied because I was worried about the switch to credit/acclaim.

Thank you! I was just coming to update that I found the scores. I should have paid closer attention. Thanks again

Cammilynn, just curious, has the teen decided to use all alternative methods for testing out her degree? Or will she take some community college courses towards the degree? If she has or is going for some RA credits, she might as well apply to COSC as they should be cheaper in the long run. Is her mind set for TESU only? Which degree is she interested in?

Bjcheung77,
She is planning to test out of all classes, taking only the two required courses from TESU. She has 78 credits already. She plans to go to cosmetology school, but has to get her degree first (per dad). It may be worth sending her credits to Charter Oak and Excelsior before 11/30 just in case though. Thank you for the suggestion.

OK, that was what I thought. COSC wouldn't be an option, they need 24 RA credits. TESU it is, but do add Excelsior since they're free to apply if you've done Sophia.org classes already. For test out and just taking two/three courses, TESU/Excelsior would be the best options. If she's up to Competency Based degrees, you can transfer up to a max of 75% of the required courses, she can apply to say Brandman/WGU, etc, they're free as well...

Awesome! I didn’t know all that. Will definitely apply to Excelsior just in case TESU falls through. Although I think it will work out. In these crazy times I’d rather cover all the bases though.

I think EC is cheaper than TESU by $1354 at this point.  They do require more UL courses, but you can get 1 of those with an UL cornerstone (you're going to have to take that at either school, may as well be UL); and then 3 additional UL courses via Study.com, Davar, Coopersmith, etc.

Some nice things about EC - 1) I think their GE is even easier to get than TESU's; 2) you don't have to choose an AOS; 3) you can choose a BS or BA in Liberal Studies, which opens up that whole Free elective area to 60cr instead of 27cr; and 4) you can choose an Area of Focus - you just need 21cr in an area, 6cr of which is UL (so 2 UL and 5 LL courses) - and it will be on your transcript (and you can choose 2 of these).  So you could do Business & Communication, or Psych, or whatever 2 things you want.  It's a nice flexible thing that TESU doesn't offer (you can choose an Area of Study, but they have a limited number of them).

Awesome information. $1354 is quite a savings. Do you know if they require the accuplacer test, or would they take her SAT scores? I’m going to check out their website this weekend. I’m really crunched for time with the ACE credit change. I may do the transcript thing with Excelsior that I read about on another post.
