Alot of these exams are relatively new. Four years ago you couldn’t even use your SAT Subject Physics test to get credit for mechanics + lab. They only offered a few classes credit by exam. So most of the UT engineering students I know who are seniors took it via ACC summer or used AP Physics C credit. This is a fundamental foundations class to EE + CE so just beware that 6 weeks of studying might make things harder as your classes get more difficult requiring that background. Did your Advisor tell you to do this? Alot of these credit by exam classes are geared towards those who need to take the class but not necessarily for their major. Like ChemE has to fulfill this engineering requirement but Physics isn’t the background they need for future classes.
