I think we need more information to help, as each school grants dsst credit based on their criteria.

For example some exams that ACE has reviewed for UL credit Excelsior only awards them as LL credit. Also at TESC they accept level 200 courses as upper level. So the name of the school would be helpful in answering your question.

I have been working on the Marketing test, and it does not seem to hard. I am going to take the test tommorow.

I am currently attending Liberty University online. The cleps and dantes listed are the ones off their website that they accept. I appreciate any help or guidance anyone could provide in order to meet this daunting challenge.

If it was me I would take the below listed exams. I have added Civil War & Recon in place of Rise and Fall of Soviet Union & I added Substance Abuse. If Civil War & Recon does not work in your plan then do Rise and Fall.

You think that's nuts? I'm taking 3 exams with a total of 3 days of study. It violates all of my exam-taking principles, but I'm left without other options at this point. I'm hoping I can actually learn the material rather than just learn how to pass. *sigh* I won't have enough time to actually read my 600 page text on Human Development. Just the chapter summaries and glossary

Thankfully, my intro to psych textbook is 1/3 about development. I should at least come away with the basic concepts, even if I can't dig deeper until after the exams.

I took the Marketing test and scored a 61. There was not much that was not on IC, just some terms.

I agree, except for this:

Maybe I don't understand LU's system, but according to their CLEP list ( Center for Academic Support and Advising Services - College Level Examination Program (CLEP) - Liberty University ), the College Math CLEP is equivalent to their Math 115. And College Algebra is equal to Math 121. Unless you're great at math, um, take College Math instead. I would at least double-check that with them. Learning calculus in less than a month is, in my humble opinion, impossible. Learning what you need to know to pass College Math in less than a week is doable if you have any kind of mathematics background at all.

Assuming you don't actually have to have Calculus OR that you know Calculus already, this looks very doable. None of those tests Peace123 listed above are humdingers. But if you do have to have calculus and don't already know it, good luck. ;-)

All of the dsst's are pretty easy with the exception of the soviet union one.
