    Hello............

    Gentlemen; I need Physics for my Associate Degree at Thomas Edison (TESC).

    I am not a math or science guy, so please recommend the easiest, least stressful way to knock out this requirement.

    I would prefer to test out, but if I have to, take a online course. Finally, algebra based and not calculas !!!!!!.

    Also, I might be tempted to take a summer school class at my local community college.

    Please reply !!!

    Unless you need a lab, the Uexcel for physics is the only test out option I know of. There is the AP exam, but those are inconvenient for adults to take. The Straighterline courses are calculus-based with extremely low pass rates.

    Hello, I see that PennFoster has an ACE approved physics if TESC will approve that for your degree path. If you think you have the base knowledge some Community Colleges will allow you to take the final w/o the coursework. Hille

    According to the ACE CREDIT database, their credit recommendations for Penn Foster

    Physics Application expired 10/20/2007
    Physical Science (introductory survey including chemistry and earth and space science; not likely to be accepted towards a TESC physics requirement) expired 12/31/2012

    There seem to be some engineering technology courses related to physics with current approvals, but unlikely to be accepted towards a TESC physics requirement.
