I got on track to begin testing out my BSBA degree Mid December through end of January. I have not take any tests this February.
I have been able to amass 24 credits. They are:

ALEKS
Intermediate algebra
College Algebra
Precalculus
Intro to Statistics

CLEPS
Analyzing & interpreting Literature 6cr
Sociology 3cr
Principles Of Marketing 3cr

Sanantone graciously prepared a BSBA plan for me however, I was thinking in the interim of getting an associates first for motivation and a quicker goal to complete.
I was wondering if you have an ASBA format and if you could tell me which and where my current credits would fit in less the 36 credits left to complete.(like you did for the BSBA)
And what other exams options would fit in apart from using Saylor? (ignoring cost) I went on there and it was so many modules that made me loose interest in taking that route.

Not very computer savvy just trying to achieve a dream I never thought possible one step at a time. It would be awesome to get my associates before turning 65 this year.

Thank You!

I can't remember if you had any particular subjects you wanted to avoid or if you wanted to use the Per Credit Tuition Plan.

If you're going to choose the Per Credit Tuition Plan, then you are going to have to include four TECEPs.

As usual Sanantone you are a wealth of information.
You make a great advisor!
I think I will make the below listed my four TECEPS:

Ethics course:
Environmental Ethics

Ethics or Diversity Elective:
Marriage and the Family

Management Core:
Financial Accounting
Managerial Accounting


You really broke it down easy for me to grasp. Perhaps you will be able to guide me on the remaining courses for the Bachelors once the associates is out of the way.
I know I have to apply to TESC at a cost of $75 for the Per Credit Tuition. Is that the only cost before the $111 for the individual tests?
Also any study guides for the TECEPS? I have only used instacert so far.

[sanantone]

Yes, you just pay the $75 application fee and will pay $111 when you register for a TECEP. You will pay a graduation fee when you apply for graduation.

There are flashcards for three TECEPs. If you maintain your Instantcert subscription, then you will have access to the Specific Exam Feedback forum. I don't know how much info is there on TECEPs. Most people will advise you to read the recommended text. Some TECEPs are aligned with Saylor courses.

TESC also recommends free study materials for their exams, but I'm sure they aren't as aligned as the recommended textbooks.
