Least painful 3 credit science exam?
#1
I generally like science but the only one I know in detail is astronomy, and I already have taken a class in that. After reading the specific exam feedback I have no interest in trying the CLEP Biology or Natural Sciences exams, and chemistry caused me severe mental trauma in high school. Wink All of these exams would be too easy for me to fail.

So that leaves me with a 3 credit exam needed, and the apparently easy DSST Astronomy would be a duplicate. Also, DSST Here's to Your Health apparently won't qualify for this requirement. So I'm left with:

DSST Environment and Humanity
DSST Principles of Physical Science I
DSST Physical Geology

Of these, IC only has Environment and Humanity. This seems to be the least difficult of the three from what I have read in the feedback section. Has anyone taken more than one of these, or does anyone who has taken them recently have some really strong opinions about any of them?
Master of Management, Cambridge College, 2011. 4.00 GPA.
BS in Business Administration, Charter Oak State College, 2009. 75 semester credits earned by exam, 45 in the classroom. 3.91 GPA.
AS in General Studies, City University of Seattle, 1999. 50 quarter hours earned by exam, 40 in the classroom. 3.95 GPA.

Physical science should be pretty easy.

Nutrition!

TECEP, it's more money than CLEP/DSST, but quite doable. Thomas Edison State College

Thanks. I'll look into the TECEP. No college in my immediate vicinity offers them in their testing centers right now, but perhaps I can find one if I look harder... Wink
