According to TESC:
"Must include at least two subject areas
D. Natural Sciences and Mathematics 12
One college-level mathematics course required (3)
One computer science course required (3)
Other natural sciences/mathematics (6) "
So, if I am reading this correctly, I can satisfy this requirement with 9 math credits and 3 compsci credits, no?
Any help would be appreciated.

That's right.
I am 6 credits short of and AA from TESC. Taking ALEKS Intermediate Alg. course now to fulfill the 3 credits. However, I read in an older thread from last month that EC math would fulfill with beginning Algb. I'm hoping someone else can confirm that.

ALEKS is going to save you several hundred dollar$ on college credit.
It is a 100% online course or evaluation of most of the math subjects and is $20 a month. Just sign up, select the course, pass the initial assesment and get ACE approved semester-hour credit. Do a search in the forums for ALEKS. The other posts can give you alot more details.
The website is: ALEKS -- Assessment and Learning, K-12, Higher Education, Automated Tutor, Math
$20 a month for as many courses you can do is and incredible deal. In my case I just need 3 approved math credits. This forum has paid for itself many times over already.

So, If this is true there is no requirement for science for this AA?
9 math + 1 computer science = section D complete?

at least for that section of requirements for most AA or AS when you get to a BA or BS they write it in a way that makes me think you may be required to take a science.

Wow!
We should find out for sure soon as my son is sitting for College Math next week. Meanwhile his sister suffers through Astronomy.
I guess this is what happens when you write your own degree plan.

Yes, you can use computer science and/or natural science:
MAT / COS / CIS

I always use IC when I can, I also love Peterson practice test and any other practice test(CLEP, DSST or REA guides), I also always read the specific exam feedback and make sure I print the important info and look up anything I don't know.
I haven't failed one so far and I don't plan on starting now. My next exam has no IC flashcards, no Peterson's practice exam and no guides. For this one I got most of the recommended books and I am studying my butt off.
