this is a cool website
you type stuff in and if finds websites that have the information you are looking for on it. so go to google and type in gre or dantes. you will have your answers in less than a 30 seconds. Or better yet read a few posts on this board and you will be fine.

Or, better yet, could someone explain how wonderful and worthwhile GRE's and DANTES are? (For I know they must be both.)

GRE tests seem too good to be true. (Eighteen or more credits for good performance? Sign me up.) Are they much harder than CLEPs?

GRE subject exams cover all the information that a person who majored in that subject would be expected to know upon graduating. So it covers a lot more information than a CLEP. That said, many people have gotten some or many credits by taking them, and the price is right (less than two CLEPs).
