Thanks
Alora


I must take two of the classes listed below:

BEHS – DANTES: A History of the Vietnam War
CCJS – DANTES: Criminal Justice *
ECON - DANTES: Money and Banking
GEOG – DANTES: Human/Cultural Geography * (NO IC Flash Card)
EXCEL: World Population

GVPT – CLEP: American Government
EXCEL: World Conflict Since 1900
PSYC - CLEP: Introductory Psychology
SOCY - CLEP: Introduction to Sociology

* - Classes that I think I some basic/common knowledge

Of the exams you listed, I would choose CLEP Intro to Sociology and CLEP American Government. DSST Criminal Justice is not far behind. DSST Money and Banking has the reputation of being among the most difficult exams out there. If I were under the time pressure you describe, I would definitely stick with CLEP. DSST software can be problematic, not every testing center offers the on-line version, and some DSST exams are currently being beta-tested. If you really need to be all done by Friday, make sure you make your appointment for your testing center today.

I second his suggestions.
If you have taken any psychology or sociology courses, then back up and take the intros. I found criminal justice to be very predictable and easy to study for. (I used only sparks notes for a few hours for CJ)

I have never taken a psychology or sociology class :o ... The questions sound very strange to me on IC. I have always avoided not science/technical classes all my life ...

Introduction to Sociology
Introductory Psychology [/COLOR]

CLEP: Introductory Psychology
CLEP: Introduction to Sociology


both were very doable with a little cramming.

Sociology and American Gov't. Initially I didn't want to take sociology because I thought it would be too squishy-touchy-feely. But it really wasn't bad. Duh, but not bad.

I haven't taken Psychology but I think it would overlap a little with sociology, if I remember right, so that should be good too.

Avoid Vietnam War. That's pretty intense and tends to test you on obscure stuff more than basic information.

Ok, then the less technical - highest common sense factor tests are sociology and criminal justice. If you are an adult, simply being on this planet has exposed you to many many principles in these two areas. (not much memorization) Not so with psychology or government. I found that I had more intuition in answering the sociology/criminal justice exams- and more study for the psychology /government subjects.

Do put in your time on the IC flash cards, especially if you elect to take the DSST Criminal Justice exam. There are quite a few questions on historical court cases, and the principles they instituted in the criminal justice system. Do the flash cards, and read the specific exam feedback section, and you'll be fine.
