That's a shame, but good to know. The good news is that TECEPs are different: https://www.tesu.edu/degree-completion/testing-arrangements
And with Cornerstone and Capstone being done through Charter Oak, that only leaves eight TECEPs, which should be possible on nearly anyone's plan.

For a Pearson center i need to travel really far, but if i need i can take in this way.

TECEP exam is 50$ per lower credit and 75$ per UL, actually not as bad. It is 150$ per LL course and 225$ per UL course.
Are TECEP just proctored exams? Or it also need a Pearson?? Any one could take TECEP??

English comp would be $99 from ASU right now. ($198 if you need both I and II.) English Comp I is self-paced and I don't think that there is any proctoring for that particular class. Meaning you could complete it quickly and at less cost than a TOEFL exam would be.

I pass English Composition I with sophia and i was planing to enroll Sophia English Composition II in July 31; but taking at ASU is algo a good plan.
ASU English Composition I is self paced, but not English Composition II.
In order to take TECEP is enoght with ASU English Composition I??

Under testing, there's nothing about English composition. The only place English comp is mentioned is under PLA: "Students may also submit a minimum score of 6.5 on the IELTS (International English Language System) examination. In addition, students must have completed 24 college-level credits prior to the time of application, at least 6 credits of which are in English composition; and have a thorough understanding of the additional time and costs that may be associated with this process (postage, phone calls, etc.)."
