I hope I can the same! I am really nervous. I cant retain any music knowledge or visual arts. THat's what I'll be cramming for the next two weeks until test day.

I also need to 3 Liberal Arts credits but that is so broad too, wth should I take?!! Maybe literature related since I'm already studying humanities...backwards I know but I've already been studying for a month on Humanities

Good idea for a thread, thanks.

OMG, I am so psyched about this now. I have about 47 credits left to complete my degree at EC and I really want to start taking the clep exams, I need:
Macro
Micro
PreCalc - I hate math (I am terrible at it)
Bus Statistics
Information Literacy (joke 1 credit)
Financial Acctg
Managerial Accounting
Bus Law
Principles of Finance
Principles of marketing
Op Management
Bus Strategy

Basically all of the major requirements, do you think I should be able to clep/Dantes all of the above? Before end of the year? What is the study time for each, I have read some people study for 3 days and then take it. That would be ideal!
Curious to hear your feedback since did so well on so many of them. I would appreciate any insight!

Thanks,

Unfortunately not everything can be CLEP'd for EC.

Macro - can CLEP
Micro - can CLEP
PreCalc - I hate math (I am terrible at it) - can CLEP, but consider possible choices of Straighterline or ALEKS
Bus Statistics - Can clep/dsst but consider Straighterline or ALEKS
Information Literacy (joke 1 credit) - Easy to take at EC (I Did) but can also take at Penn Foster (need to take minimum of 3 credits from PF to sign as independent)
Financial Acctg - Can CLEP - but consider Straighterline
Managerial Accounting - No Longer able to CLEP - Consider Straighterline
Bus Law - Can Clep
Principles of Finance - Can DSST - Difficult test, consider Penn Foster FIN101 Financial Management
Principles of marketing - Easy CLEP
Op Management - No CLEP/DSST Equivalent - Consider TECEP or the ever popular CSU-Pueblo OpMan course (i'm taking it so far)
Bus Strategy - No Clep/Test available - must take through EC

We're on the same path, so let me know if you have any questions left. All I have left is my Ethics requirement, OpMan (currently taking at CSU-P) and the EC Capstone BUS 495.

Well that depends on your previous knowledge on the subject. Everybody is different.
Set yourself goals, not limitations

ahhh, So I guess that is the preferred method for everyone here? I don't want to sound like I'm advertising so I won't name names, but there are a couple other similarly priced programs I saw online, and a few specific test books I saw amazon selling, Are those worth considering or if you use this site a lot does it seem like IC is the best way to go? I have about $100 in books in my amazon cart, but that would pay for the whole IC thing. I only need 3 CLEPS, so where is my money better spent?.
