If you passed the Saylor ACE version, why are you taking the TECEP? Do they not duplicate?

I think he must have meant that he passed the unproctored final easily, then took the TECEP?

Even then, if the unproctored version was easy, their proctored version is likely similar. Save the $90 and take the proctored saylor version.

I passed the Saylor proctored for ACE credit, but I need TECEPs for residency. I took the Saylor test as a back up and as a review.

Some Saylor for credit final exams consist of the same exact questions/answers that were given in the review course. This was one of them.

I will continue to read about this subject. Highly recommend taking this course.

Makes sense, I know you have to get those TECEPs in quick before they go away for residency purposes, so it makes sense to duplicate something you already know.

I passed this TECEP with a 74% (65% required). Was hoping to do better but in hindsight I see that one of my essay questions did not provide a real answer to their question, so I understand why I scored lower than expected.
This test requires a good effort of studying, but the material is not boring, so I recommend taking it.

Hello everyone -
Has anyone taken TECEP Environmental Ethics exam recently? From what I am reading, I think I will have to use something other than the Saylor site. Any suggestions on which textbooks to use?
Thank you!

Where are you transferring the credits to?

I used Saylor. Unfortunately, the test description isn't as helpful on what book to use as it usually is:
