I would be tempted to apply, then as soon as you get your MyEdison ID, register for a TECEP for the May term (starts April 30), and take the exam on April 30. At that point, TESU should have brought in your credits and done an eval, and you're ready to send a transcript. Pick the very easiest TECEP you think you can pass, and you're done.

This will end up being cheaper for you, so that's nice.
As far as easy TECEPs, since you're looking for math credit anyway you might as well do one of their math TECEPs:
Applied Liberal Arts Mathematics (MAT-105-TE)
College Algebra (MAT-121-TE)
Principles of Statistics (STA-201-TE)
Georgia Tech
MS Cybersecurity (Policy), 2021
Western Governors University
MBA IT Management, in progress (16/35cr, anticipated 2025)
BS IT Security, 2018
Northwestern California University School of Law
1L 20cr completed, withdrew from school, 2023-24
Thomas Edison State University
BA Computer Science, 2023

Can you take a TECEP only during the start of their semesters?
It’s a shame because I wasn’t planning on taking any TECEPS (or even CLEPS) but rather get all the math credits done through study.com. It just seems like an unnecessary step and extra prep work for the TECEP since it wasn’t needed.
I’m hoping he gave me the wrong info. Or better yet, if anyone on this forum has strictly used TESU for credit-banking, maybe they can confirm what’s on their transcript.
As always, thanks dfrecore - appreciate your knowledge on this as always.

Take one less Study.com exam but use the Study.com course to prepare for the TECEP. Same amount of work in the end, just a bit different plan.

I'm not sure that you're going to find many people who actually use TESU credit banking anyway. It's a more expensive option than applying, taking a TECEP, and requesting a transfer to be sent over.

No, it's not more money, because the other plan (credit banking) is more expensive. Besides, it apparently doesn't even work.

That’s why I wasn’t sure if he was given me inaccurate information because a previous rep I emailed about credit Banking have me the list of the transfer Equivalencies.
That’s why I was hoping someone on here may have the answer from personal experience with credit-banking. But I guess the majority tackle TESU for that degree.

Credit banking is at least $300.
Applying for TESU is $75, a TECEP as an enrolled student is $117. You're coming out ahead.

I know you have been talking about going for a BSBA in Accounting, and you currently have a BA (Liberal Arts, if I recall correctly). We have not seen a list of your current credits to know what you are missing, but I'd recommend taking a TECEP in a subject that fits into the BSBA core. I'm sure someone could give you some guidance on which would be a good (& easier one) to take. Keep in mind in the end it is about taking the TECEP, you don't need to pass it (of course you want to); so if for some reason you gave it your best shot and didn't pass - you'd still be enrolled and the fail on the TECEP does not go against your GPA or anything like that - it just doesn't get applied to the degree plan.
TESU has a new "Semester" starting every month. You wouldn't have much required delay time wise in taking the TECEP.
