I haven't accessed the Specific Exam Feedback Forum in a long time. Well, I didn't really use it when I did have an IC subscription. Anyway, do they have threads for exams that don't have flashcard sets? I don't see how they could justify moving feedback for exams that don't have flashcards. There has been recent specific feedback on a new DSST and other exams that don't have flashcards, and those threads haven't been moved.

Because I took a number of those quizzes years ago and my scores on them ranged from definitely passing to hopelessly failing. If the quizzes are the same difficulty question-wise to the real exam, only a lot shorter, than that would go along way in determining ahead of time how prepared one was.
Kaz,
I really like and support your idea.
I took MAT-105 and CIS 107 TECEPs cold and found that the sample TECEP quizzes for these two tests were good representation of TECEPs difficulty. I wrote about TECEPs before, so I just copy and paste a part of my post from the other thread.
"Another 6 easy TECEPs :
POS-101-TE Introduction to Political Science
POS-282-TE *Introduction to Comparative Politics ( Saylor align)
SOC-210-TE Marriage and the Family
PSY-270-TE Psychology of Women
COM-210-TE Public Relations Thought & Practice
JOU-110-TE Introduction to News Reporting
Everybody can pick something easy from the list

Nice thing that it is possible to see sample questions in each TECEP description, so the person can take mock test and see the difficulty of the test."

Thanks lavagirl. Yeah I've always suspected that any of the "101" stuff could not be textbook specific. Established "intro" courses for stuff like poli-sci should not vary much at all from book to book, college to college. Building an exam around "gotcha!" questions, the kind that are not actually very important but are buried in the text, is quite unseemly for a proper college to do.
I noticed this page on TESC's website:
http://www.tesc.edu/degree-completion/do..._TECEP.pdf
It is a list of completely free resources for TECEPs, broken down per exam. I bet the more intrepid test-takers on this forum could use just these free resources and pass these TECEPs. I guess time will tell.

I took the Abnormal Psychology TECEP and the Psychology of Women TECEP. Of the two, Psychology of Women was easier for me.
