Testing (TECEP®)
The Thomas Edison State College Examination Program (TECEP®) was designed especially with the adult learner in mind, and has enabled students to earn college credit without taking formal courses for more than 30 years.
How TECEP® Exams Work
One way to demonstrate your college-level knowledge and skills is to prepare for and pass a test. Students select a test in a subject area in which they have prior knowledge or experience. Then, they prepare for the test using a test description, and register to take the test when they are ready. Once a student passes the exam, they receive college credit. TECEP® exams are designed for highly independent learners who have the ability to study in a student-centered environment with no time constraints, no assignments, and no mentor interaction.

A test description includes a list of exam topics, suggested study materials and sample questions. By reviewing the test description material you'll know how to prepare for the exam. You'll study at your own pace and schedule your own test date at a convenient location. If something unexpected comes up, you can reschedule your test date.
