I have completed the following CLEPs: Biology (73), Humanities (78), Natural Science (67), and Sociology (76).
I need only ONE more CLEP to graduate with my class on May 29th!
Now I have two weeks to study for my next one, and I want to know which is easiest: Principles of Marketing, Principles of Management, or American Government? I have some background in history but none in business. I need to start an intensive job search so I won't have tons of time to study like I did for the science CLEPs.
Thanks for any input.

Even without formal business experience, you've been a consumer for most of your life.
I vote for Marketing ... get your hands on the REA book and watch Standard Deviant videos if you enjoy their humor.

I would have to second Intro to Marketing choice.

I'd vote for Principles of Management. I just took the Exam, and it was very easy in my opinion. I studied for 2 weeks. A lot of the questions are common sense.

I'd say either marketing or management. IC is great source for both

Marketing is first choice but management is close second. Use IC. Pretty easy stuff.
Dont forget to check the specific exam feedback before taking the plunge.

I've taken and passed all three. Either marketing ot management. Just use more than one resource. I'd suggest IC and REA. I found American Gov needed more study time. Again, this is only my take. The difficulty level of any exam is really based on your background, experience and prep efforts.
Good luck to you.

I found the management exam pretty easy. I haven't taken the marketing but hear its not to bad. I failed the American gov. by 1 point and I studied it pretty good. The general consensus is that that is a tricky one.

That said, your background in history may help you with American Government. I'm taking the test tomorrow, so I hope it isn't
too tricky.
