They are not duplicates, they will both count towards your degree, and they do not cover the same info. There's about a 10% overlap in my opinion.
Read the specific feedback section for CLEP Computer Info and you'll be able to pass no problem!

for my degree they were did not take both, they said they were essentially the same, and they were pretty close. If you have to pay for both exams only take the one you need, if you take exams for free like me take them all.
