Hey everyone!
I’d really appreciate your help figuring out which course is the easiest CLEP: Financial Accounting, Social Science and History, Microeconomics, or Macroeconomics.
I have basically zero background in Accounting and Economics, except for a super basic econ class I took back in high school. I have taken the World History AP exam before and passed US history I and I CLEPs as well.
Thanks in advance!

Basically, I've not taken a CLEP yet. If I was in your shoes, I would take the Social Science & History one for 6 credits. Having said that, it's a tie for economics being at 72% on this list, Social Science at 62% and Financial Accounting at 55%. It really depends on what you are most interested in studying, if you have energy/time, take them all!
Go for the one you are most interested in, use ModernStates for the voucher and review, but you should get supplemental books at the library or online. Link:

Man, I want to say the economics ones, but I'm biased because I think that economic illiteracy is one of the biggest problems this world faces.
