General Advice Needed ASAP

[kylealex]

I just discovered that if I can exempt 15 hours via CLEP and take 3 courses this Summer, I can graduate in August!
If I can graduate this Summer, it would be very conducive to me applying to medical school this year. The CLEP I want to take are computer application,s principles of marketing, principles of management and western civilization 1 &2. Does this seem like a plausible course of action? How hard are the exams I listed?

It completely depends on what you already know as to how hard the CLEP exams will be for you. Here's a listing with difficulty level from Free-Clep-Prep.com (scale of 1-5, with 1 being the easiest), the 2016 civilian pass rate, and the InstantCert pass rate:

Management - 1 out of 5, 54% civilian pass rate, 97% pass rate on IC
Marketing - 1 out of 5, 76% civilianpass rate, 98% pass rate on IC
Western Civ I - 3 out of 5, 67% civilianpass rate, 95% pass rate on IC
Western Civ II - 3 out of 5, 52% civilianpass rate, 90% pass rate on IC
Computer Apps - 4 out of 5, 72% civilianpass rate, 96% pass rate on IC

This are in now way directed towards everyone. I can speak for myself when I say Marketing was super easy. I read the REA book once and passed with a 59. Computer Apps is listed really hard if you have a IT/Computer background. They are all definetly doable. Marketing/Management once will be the easiest followed by the Western Civ's. Your best bet is to sign yourself up for IC and start working on them in this order.

I thought Marketing & Management were both easy, but I had already taken UL Management courses. So like I said, it's hard to determine without knowing someone's background - but giving all the numbers shows what some people think, how the majority of test-takers do, etc.
