I thought Intro to Business (DSST) was really easy. Passed it last year with a 68. It's real basic: sole proprieterships, partnerships, corporations, etc.

what do you think is the easiest of all the history exams
Also, Are Dsst exams nationally/ regionally accredited exactly like CLEPs? I was looking at a NY Suny school and saw they accepted CLEPs, but didn't see anything about dsst exams? Do you think if they take cleps, they'd take dsst also, or should i play it safe and only take CLEP's from here on out?

I took all the history exams but I wouldn't call any of them
easy. Some just required a broader range of knowledge than others. I can tell you the tougher exams were: Rise and Fall of Soviet Union and Civil War and Reconstruction. The Vietnam War exam was easier for me I think, but still it wasn't
easy and all three of these exams required a lot of knowledge.
My advice is that you shouldn't rush into any of the history exams. Give yourself time on these so that you really know the material.

US History I was definitely the easiest for me, but like Prof siad, none of them are easy. Some people find US History II easier, because it was more recent. I see that you've already taken Lit and Eng 101, but the Analyzing and Interpreting Lit CLEP is supposed to be one of the easiest ones out there. I also found College Math rather easy.
There's a Principles or Marketing CLEP that's supposed to correlate to Principles of Management. My coach scheduled me to take them together.
But anyway, thought I might try to give you some ideas...

I second the professor. Civil War & Recon is very doable but I crammed w/InstantCert + a few of the other resources mentioned on this site. I see a lot of high scores on all these tests and wonder how, especially when they are completing 5-6 a month and more. I found InstantCert helpful, went in feeling very comfortable in my knowledge of battles/leaders (I actually found this course very interesting) and listened to the feedback and just missed an "A". Then again, most of my "A"'s came from traditional classes. I've taken the old Drug & Alcohol Abuse not so easy (A) and History, the same (A) and Macroeconomics, missed by a point years ago. I RESPECT all CLEP's/DSST's, probably because because my D&A abuse many years ago destroyed some good brain cells.
