I plan on scheduling at least 2 exams tomorrow and would like some feedback on the 2nd and others if taken, which order would be best.
(1) DSST: Intro to Computing (this one will be first to get my confidence up)
(?) DSST: Principles of Supervision
(?) DSST: Intro to Biz
(?) CLEP: Principles of Management
My degree plan is BSBA - Gen. Mgmt @ TESC

Unless you have a serious background in computers, I'd think about maybe putting one of the others as a confidence builder, first. Maybe the Management CLEP or Supervision DSST for example. I've found both of those to be easier for someone just starting out.
Of course if you're an IT geek like myself, Intro to Computers would be fine after a quick review

Yea, the Intro to Computing will not be an issue, I am formerly an IT geek, closet geek now :-) Thats why I want that to be my first exam.
Of the other 3, is there a overlap of information of the CLEP/DSST for Principles of Supervision/Management?

Quite a large overlap for all three of your other choices.

Those exams are all pretty easy. But... there's no "ovelap" really when it comes to test taking, only studying really. I mean after all, if you see the same question on management and supervision exams, how are you supposed to know you got it right the first time?

I would do:
Intro to Comp
P. of Supervision
P. of Management
Intro to Biz
I'm not that geeky but I passed Intro to comp with no study.
When it comes to Principles of Sup. and Mngmt, if you study for one, you pretty much study for the other. Lots of over lap on both.
I couldn't tell you about the Intro to Biz, sorry.

Just do the DSST Intro to Computing, it's easier and if you take both, you'll only get credit for one of them at TESC. They both fall under as COS-101.
