ok...i talked to the tcn rep and a rue rep. i am not going with either of them thanks to a brainstorm to look at ebay and doing additional research on here. a lot of the posts are really helpful. one thing i can not find after searching the posts is about pearson. both the tcn rep and rue rep told me that pearson charges a fee (tcn said $1320 for 6 nc exams and the rue guy said $1625 for 6 or 7 nc exams) in addition to fees to ec. well, excelsior said they have a contract with pearson and there is no fee. sooooo...
i just want to check and make sure that i did not misunderstand the ec rep because i asked a whole bunch of questions:
if i sign up to do this through excelsior directly and buy my own books/materials privately without tcn or rue, is there an additional test fee to pearson???? in other words, will i pay only excelsior $220 per exam (well, $235 after july 1st according to excelsior) or will i owe excelsior $220 and pearson an additional fee of $220 (or more) per exam???
