TESC Per Credit Plan - Residency Requirement

[bricabrac]

Purplenova,

Just an FYI, your age will actually benefit you more than you know. Work/life experience makes testing much easier. In many subjects you will need only a quick refresher vs full study.

The following course/exam series takes advantage of course material overlap - take them in groupings: [ENG201, ENG216, COM300], [PHI287, PHI384, BUS302], and [COM210, MAR323, MAR321 or MAR322,] .

Below are my recommendations. There are more than enough TECEPs noted to meet residency.
SL=Straighterline, PF=Penn Foster, TECEP exam font is blue.

Good luck!
