English exams tend to be a lot easier for me than math and history but I am running out of options on the English side, so i guess I have to make a switch! Thank you guys for all the info and feedback, we are having a clep-a-thon on base here soon, so I will probably study my butt off and try to achieve as many credits as possible during that time ! Biology does seem a little out of my lead to try to cram everything in as soon as possible, I think I will stick to the 3 credit options for now.
Well, the thing to remember is that you can't get credit for the same thing twice- that's why people are asking you about what you need. For instance, if you took College Algebra already, you couldn't ALSO take the College Algebra CLEP. Since CLEP exams are 100 and 200 level, and you state that you've been in college for 4 years, there are probably only a few you're eligible to get credit for. Keep in mind no one will stop you from testing, but a college will deny credit if it's in an area you already have credit in. Even 15 credits in "anything" won't allow duplication.
