Deciding what to take (CLEP)

[sdeserio]

I passed the A&I test with a 50! I am so relieved! That is what i was approximately obtaining when i was studying with the REA Book and The Peterson's Online Course. I found the passages were very long and longer than both the REA and Peterson's study guides (i barely had enough time to finish). I guess it is on to the next exam. Deciding what to take:

American Literature
English Literature
Humanities
Social Sciences and History
Biology
College Mathematics
Natural Sciences

I have to take 4 more tests. Which one would you pick? Thanks in advance!

if i had to choose from that list id probably go for the humanities, the social science or the English literature but thats just me. im a nurse pursuing my bachelors and i hate the sciences. i just find those subjects more interesting. but i guess it depends on what you really want and like. whatever you do good luck.:o

It really depends on your backround. But from my pespective you would be best off taking the social sciences and history test. It is not extremely broad like humanities and has much more common sense stuff.

Farmerboy is right! It really does depend on your personal background. However I would ad that you might want to take into consideration any time constraints, as well as any courses required for your degree, especially if they are difficult for you. If you have any of these it would probably be well to take them first so as to give yourself more wiggle room as you near graduation, as well as the six months necessary to retake a failed test.

If no constraints apply than break it up into strongest areas (ie: recently did Biology, or naturally good at math) and tests with similar information that may build on each other (ie: American Literature & American Literature, Literature & Humanities, Humanities & S.S. and History, or Natural Sciences & Biology.)
Hope this helps!!!

Good Luck on your next test!!!
