I need to take a math test to satisfy a degree requirement. My choices are;
CLEP
College Algebra
College Mathematics
Pre Calculus
Calculus
Dantes
Principles of Statistics
I can take anyone of these tests. Is there an 'easiest' test out of all of them? I have not been in a math classroom in 15 years and this is my second to last test before I graduate.
Thanks!

I would recommend you to use ALEKS for
College Algebra
Intor to Statisctics
PreCalculus
I just passed College Algebra and Intermediate Algebra with 10 days worth of work combined and I was doing these subjects after quite a long time. You dont have multiple choice questions like CLEP so you will have to do some work but it's only 26 -30 questions vs. 90 for CLEP and you can take it at your own home and it cost only $20 for a month.

Remember, we don't know where the OP is going to school and whether it'll accept ALEKS/ACE CREDIT, and accept it toward that math requirement specifically.

If it has to be from that list I would say either College Algebra or College Math. College Math does have a higher "pass rate" of 54% vs College Algebra's 31%, and College Math is worth 6 credits if that matters at all to you.

College Math is the only one I've taken in that list, and it was pretty easy. All you really need to do is brush up on your high school math (the CLEP covers material 10th grade and below, I remember reading somewhere).
