I believe it was $83 per credit for that. So in addition to paying for the test, you would also pay $249 for each 3-credit test you transfer in to TESC. EC doesn't charge anything to transfer in test credits. $249 multiple times adds up fast, compared to $0 multiple times.
Please correct me if I'm wrong on this, but when I used the cost calculator on the website, the cost was very high when figuring in a bunch of testing credits. I suppose if you weren't planning on doing much testing, then TESC would be cheaper.
This is the main reason I'm choosing EC over TESC, so do please tell me if I have it wrong.

Instead of using a cost calculator maybe call admissions and have them walk you through the process.
There is no fee for transferring in credit by exam credits. Once you apply to the school $75 you have all transcripts (Prometric, CLEP, ACE, ..etc) sent to TESC for evaluation. There is no fee. I am now working on my third degree and the total estimate of all three degrees (AAS, BA, BS) is $7100-$7500 including 1yr comprehensive, 1yr enrolled options, 3 grad fees, PF courses, SL courses and CLEP/DSST.
If you are referring to credit banking thats something different since there is no enrollment and yes it has a fee.
