What was your most difficult CLEP exam?
#1
So far I would say Western Civ I or Humanities. Its hard to pick because they were so different. Western Civ was probably a harder test but more fun to study. Humanities was an easier test but it was going over tons of boring facts and trying to memorize names.
Western Civilization-59/3 Credits
Analyzing and Interpreting Lit.-66/6 Credits
Humanities-59/6 Credits
Principles of Management- 62/3 Credits
Principles of Marketing- 61/3 Credits
Introductory Sociology- 72/3 Credits
Introductory Psychology- 72/3 Credits
Western Civilization II- 56/3 Credits
Info. Systems & Computer Applications- 57/3 Credits

[SIZE="2"]Information Systems and Computer Applications was the most difficult exam for me so far. I understand that individual results have varied considerably on this exam, and I definitely do not want to scare anyone off, but I thought it was really tough. Nothing I studied successfully prepared me for this exam - most of the questions seemed to come out of nowhere. NOTE: I do not have any kind of background in this area at all. [/SIZE]

I thought I didn't pass it. I think I guessed on about 75% of the test.
Some how I passed Big Grin
The sad part is that I work in that field. :confused:

So far, Biology has taken the most preparation time of any, in one sense it was most difficult because I learned a complicated subject from scratch. Microeconomics was the most difficult in the sense that I had inadequately prepared and didn't know many answers and had to use elimination or completely random guesses on more than half of the questions.
I have 18 traditional credits and 51 exam credits. I've passed Introductory Sociology 76, Introductory Psychology 68, A&I Literature 66, Principles of Marketing 76, Introductory Business Law 71, Social Sciences & History 67, DSST Drug & Alcohol Abuse 450, Biology 69, Principles of Management 70, Natural Sciences 64, Intro to Business DSST 70, Principles of Macroeconomics 67, Principles of Microeconomics 58.

At the time I took the exam I thaught each one was difficult. Recently I thought A & I Lit was a killer, but when I think back it really wasn't that hard. I would now say History of the Vietnam War which is funny because I did really well on it. I studied really hard, when I first decided to take it I thought it would be easy because I had lived through it. What irks me is this is the only history of whivh isn't for upper level credit.

Macroeconomics. I hate graphs. Smile I ended up doing really well on it though.

Western Civ was hard too because there was so much to keep track of.
