CLEP------- Where do I start?

Find out about your local testing locations. I had one that I had to book a week in advance and another I could stop in anytime.

I would take Analyzing & Interpreting Lit as your first CLEP. There is really no studying needed and it will get your feet wet.

I used InstantCert and the test forums on this site exclusively to pass 15 CLEP and DSST exams in 2 months. I would cram for 2-3 days then go take a test. IT depends on how well you retain what you read. I used the CLEP Difficulty List (Google) to help determine how much I needed to study.

At the time you take your CLEP you can have your results sent to your school for free. The downside is that any failures are also sent. The other option is to have CLEP hold on to them until you take a bunch. Then you submit a transcript request to CLEP for $20-30 and you can request only passing scores be sent. Why is this important? I had one school tell me that if I failed a CLEP I'd have to take the class at that school. So check with your school. Ask what happens if you fail a CLEP.
