How good are the Study.com TECEP prep courses?

They were so awful that I’m not sure how Study.com can even claim that the course and the exam have anything to do with each other whatsoever. I’m not sure if this is the case with their TECEP prep but I wouldn’t take my chances.

Yeah, it appears they just reuse the material from their existing courses to cover the content areas listed in the test syllabus. So the material provided by Study.com is not directly related to any of the exams other than being the same subject areas. Given that most exams synthesize the material in the textbook(s) they are based on, there is no guarantee that the material covered by Study.com will be the same. So, yeah I don't plan to put a lot of faith in it.

Not to mention, I have decided to focus on BSBA-CIS before BSBA-GM since I'm closer to a degree on that side, so I may not end up needing any of those TECEPs anyway. So if anything I may end up using the networking TECEP or one of the GenEds (public relations still seems like a good option).

Though I really just need something to allow me to officially enroll, so I'm also considering the Medical Terminology or Applied Liberal Arts Mathematics TECEPs for easy passes. I don't need either for my degree so it's really a toss-up at this point.
Working on: Debating whether I want to pursue a doctoral program or maybe another master's degree in 2022-23
