need advice on cleps
#1
i finished classes at my college and decided for my fnal 9 credits to take clep exams. I need a total of 9 credits. I have 2 options. Either take 3 cleps (worth 3 credits each)- intro to management, psych human development, and american government or one of those (for 3 credits) and an accounting clep (which would give me 6 credits for this one exam). What advice can you guys give me? my friends all say take 3 exams because accounting clep will be too hard

Well, the cleps you mentioned are business and social science- typically these are not interchangeable. Are you certain any of those count? In other words, I have never heard of a management exam counting as a gen ed credit, or a psych exam counting as a business credit.
*just double check

1. Growth and Human Development is very doable.
2. Intro Psych is very doable.
3. Intro Management is very doable.

4. Government require serious study time.
5. Accounting requires serious study time.

I can suggest many others, but given the choices you listed, I'd go with the first three.

basically i need 3 credits towards my economics major (management)
and 6 credits towards electives to finish my degree of 120 credits. those are the only options because ive already completed classes in most of the cleps courses and some of them are not accepted by my college, hunter college.

is the human development clep multiple choice or fill in the blanks?

All CLEP and DSST exams are multiple choice, except for a couple of the math exams, which have the occasional fill-in-the-blank question.

The Principles of Accounting CLEP was retired in 2007. This was the test that gives 6 credits.

Principles of Financial Accounting is worth 3 credits and covers Accounting I.
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Wile E. Coyote, genius. I am not selling anything nor am I working my way through college, so let's get down to basics: you are a rabbit and I am going to eat you for supper. Now don't try to get away, I am more muscular, more cunning, faster and larger than you are, and I am a genius, while you could hardly pass the entrance examinations to kindergarten, so I'll give you the customary two minutes to say your prayers.

Bachelor of Science in PsychoRabbitology degree
Master of Education with a specialty in Rabbit-specific destructive munitions (or eLearning & Technology, I forget which)
Doctor of Philosophy in Wile E. Leadership with an area of specialty in Acme Mind Expansion - 2017 Hopefully
