Questions about TESC

[dc67]

I am new to INstacert. I used another study guide and tried to pass Intro to Micro Economics and got a 49, if only it were hand grenades, close would have counted. I am studying for macro economics now on here and hope to take and pass it next week. I am currently enrolled at Eastern New Mexico University. I ended up there because with an airframe and powerplant licesne I only needed 4 classes for an Associate degree. I completed that in December and now I am working on a Bachelor's. I need 17 more classes of which I can only CLEP about 6 of them.
I have been reading posts on here all day and reading the school web sites. TESC offers a BS in Aviation Maintenance Technology and it appears that I would only need about 10 classes. My first question is:

How does the Prior Learning Assesment work? I am a little confused because it talks about a mentor and a 12 week course. Is there a way to use life credit through that without a course?

Also, it seems like most classes have to have proctored exams which would really be a pain. Are there any secrets to get around some of this?

Any other info about TESC or even better, the BS in AMT would be great. I am looking at 4 or so more years where I am and would love to finish as quick as possible.

Thanks for any help.
