    I agree, Definitely start taking CLEP/DSST exams until you start. I would have picked EC though.

You can't go wrong with either, but I found that TESC fulfilled my needs better. Keep in mind though that I had 90+ RA in-class credit hours going into TESC.


    I checked it out today online and it stated they would take 80 units form a CC,and not 40.

    I tried to call for verification on the Units from the CC/JC and if they would accept Penn Foster College Eng100 across the board, but they had in-service training going on, so now I will wait till Monday to verify.
