Testing (TECEP®)
Access Our Online Application
TECEP® fees have been reduced to $99 per test for both enrolled and nonenrolled students.
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 over 35 years.
How TECEP® Exams Work
One way to demonstrate your college-level knowledge and skills is to prepare for and pass a comprehensive exam. You select a test in a subject area in which you have prior knowledge or experience. You prepare for the test using a test description and register to take it when you are ready. Once you pass the exam, you receive college credit.
Preparing for Your TECEP®
You can view a list of TECEP® exams and print the test description for each one. 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.

Taking your TECEP®
After you register you'll be emailed a confirmation note that includes all the information you need to set up a specific test date and location. You can choose to test at the College in Trenton, NJ or at any accredited college or public library, using an approved proctor. Testing is currently paper-and-pencil only but we expect to offer online testing in the future.
