I personally have used the exams to test out of some subjects that I otherwise would've just crammed for the tests and discarded the information afterwards in a normal classroom setting anyway. It has allowed me to obtain the credits while at the same time dedicating my efforts torwards those subjects that are more important to me. And in reality, isn't this what every student does? I have over 100 credit hours on my transcript from 2 and 4 year institutions, and what TESC has allowed me to do is be flexible in selecting the mode by which I learn, which I think has made me a better student. I won't be able to test the credential in getting into grad school for a while, but I'm thinking a decent GPA, competitive score on the GMAT and a work history in my field of study will make me a solid candidate. Like someone else said, you may not get into an Ivy League grad program, but I personally am okay with that. That was never my goal.
