Why Charter Oak State College is better than Thomas Edison State College
cookderosa Wrote:Oh come on now, this isn't fun?:confused:

Ah Cookderosa, you were one of the people who felt that TECEPs were too hard. What were your thoughts about them, did you take any more TECEPS and would you have preferred to take any other institution's exams instead if you could? My central argument is that TECEPs are too tedious for the fact that you have to read a textbook, that there are no review materials, no practice exams, no student feedback, etc. They're generally poorly supported and many have people have agreed on that point as well.

You had stated, “I only took 1 TECEP as a student, but took a year's worth of classes. I wouldn't take another TECEP and I wouldn't get excited about the option. I found TECEP to be much harder than CLEP and much harder than my classes. Mine (Nutrition) was text-book specific and written by a 2nd grader. Okay, maybe not, but it was awful. I remember one question was "what is the most popular sandwich in America" and most questions were short answer / fill in the blank that you wouldn't know without the text.”

I would urge anyone who wants to complete a degree under the path of least resistance to steer clear of these exams for the reasons you mentioned above.
