My son completed US History 2 on Straighterline in 4 days, while also working on some other classes. I'd imagine the first course is similar. You could complete it in one day in a pinch. It had only a few tests plus the final.
Here Researching for my son, who has done the following:

Are those the only choices you are allowed to use? You could get a LOT more credits- among them, US History I and II, Modern European History, and series of math and literature classes, all for $90/ month.
Shmoop are nonproctored and ACE-approved.
BA, MA, EdS, MMT, etc.
83 hours of ACE-worthy credits

Has to be either US History I or II - either CLEP or Straighterline. I'm more familiar and remember more of early colonization history of America so choosing US History I, but cant decide between Straighterline or CLEP.

You can probably buckle down and finish it in a few days. For the CLEP it may take you a bit longer as you have to study for the whole course then take a "final". So SL is probably the easier/quicker of the two options unless you would only need a day or two to study up for the CLEP. The CLEP would be cheaper also unless you where planning on more courses from SL in the same subscription.

My 17 year old was the same - much more knowledgeable about world history and the first half of US history - he's actually really glad he took US History 2 with SL - it was a short text and he learned a lot he wouldn't have learned otherwise - he was taking it to check off that box, but I think he got something out of it in that 4 day timespan as well.
