Why Charter Oak State College is better than Thomas Edison State College

[KittenMittens]

I never took Uexcels, but I took 2 TECEPs: MAT-105 and CIS- 107 without any study and got 97% and 98% . In my opinion, they were easier than Straighterline's tests.

Ok, now try doing that with an exam like TECEP Strategic Management. Mat-105 is "MAT-105-TE Applied Liberal Arts Mathematics" and the other some generic computer applications exam.

This exam tests a broad-based overview of mathematics intended for non-math majors and emphasizes problem-solving modeled on real-life applications. Topics include: number systems; solution of basic algebraic problems; sets, logic, and probability; interpretation of statistical data; the metric system; and calculations involving geometric objects."

and "CIS-107 Computer Concepts and Applications

Provides an overview of computers, focusing on historical development; hardware; application software; communications; Internet use; how to purchase, install and maintain a computer; information systems; system analysis and design; programming; careers in the computer field; security, ethics and privacy issues; and multimedia. The laboratory portion of the course features the use of Microsoft Office and Windows."

Now try doing another 6 TECEP exams and see how many you can do without consulting a textbook. Majority of the exams need a particular textbook that you have to read cover to cover. And if I understand correctly, these TECEPs you did are lower level. For all degrees, you need upper level credit - and those TECEP exams are much more difficult. There are also probably better options for the 100 level i.e. CLEP Computer Applications or Clep College Math because there are practice materials. For you, you obviously have a working knowledge of math and computers, but if a person didn't, it'd be good to have some review materials that would help.

Most of the TECEP exams in question have to do with indepth subjects particularly in business like accounting, finance, taxes, etc. And those ones 9/10 students would probably be unable to get a 98% at least without extensive and involved studying. The one you took was likely very generic. Still the consensus overall is that TECEPs are the hardest as I and other posters have said.
