One of the nice things about using alternative credit is that if you don't pass your TOEFL, you can still gather credit while you study to raise your score.

Yes but i have to pass it before i can send my transcript for evaluation. So if i never get a good score, i never get a degree. Thats why i first need to take my toefl.

Your TOEFL has nothing to do with your evaluation. TESU will evaluate your previously earned credits even if you are not formally enrolled. I think TESU offers two evaluations before enrolment. You need your TOEFL to actually enrol. In my experience, it is not so difficult to get a 79 on TOEFL iBT. There are 4 sections, each worth 30 points. You are basically aiming to get a 20 in each. It is entirely possible. You just need good practice.

You need to get all your transcripts evaluated course by course first, this is not done by the university, you'll need to pay and follow the instructions of the company (wes.org).
After that you'll need to send that course-by-course evaluation and probably also the transcripts, but I'm not sure about that, to the all institutions of your choice.

I'm pretty sure you'll have to pay for each evaluation, the most important is you get your transcripts evaluated course-by-course as soon as possible. TESU (and others) will not evaluate international transcripts without this third-party course-by-course evaluation.

And they use not all the same evaluation company.

ECE is accepted by all Big 3, WES is not accepted by EC (no comms I suppose). Perhaps you could convince EC as they do accept WES for graduate level.
Which one uses another evaluation company?

EC was the one. It is so hard to find out everything. I hope its worth the hassle Smile

EC need a Subject Analysis where others need a course by course.

Who can help me out? I realy struggle with toefl speaking. Im wonder if i can get 79 points on a Toefl to get in TESU(excelsior is only 69 points). A other way to get in Excelsior is to take uexcel engx110( but it shuts the door for tesu) . And this is also one of the two needed English courses i think? Can anyone explain the difference for me between a bachelor of arts and sciense? It looks like the first one have more arts needed? And are the ul courses harder to get (without clep etc) if i choose excelsior instead of tesu? Because my communication credits it is realy hard to decide what to do. TESU looks like a better fit i think? But if i dont get in....

What were the results of the course by course evaluation?
Do you have the free and cheap (math) credits?
Speaking is only 1/4 of Toefl. You can also try to submit coursework.
