Lots of Questions

[NYTtech]

Hello to everyone! I am new here and have a few questions. My school will only accept 30 clep and dsst credits. The following courses are the ones that I want to take:

Here’s to Your Health
Intro to World Religions
Macroeconomics
Microeconomics
Principles of Accounting
Intro Business Law
Principles of Management
Principles of* Marketing
Statistics
Finance
Art of the Western World

These equal out to 36 credits. Which two tests would you not take? Also, which order would you take these in? In you experience how do you rate them in terms of difficulty? Any other thoughts or advice would be appreciated.

I have Here's to Your Health scheduled for Friday of this week.

welcome to the forum nyttech =]

i just started taking CLEP exams for my school as well so i've only taken one so far. i think you should just start with principles of management. it's easy and it's a great one to just start things off and to get used to the CLEP exams. i never took management before so i just studied the subject on my own using IC, the free Peterson's tests, and a book from Comex (which was more of a review of everything else than new material). i def overstudied b/c i didn't know what to expect since it was my first one. but either way, i got a 70 so i'm happy.

i also heard principles of marketing is as easy as management so maybe you could take that one next?

good luck nyttech! =]

Hi NYTtech,

Difficulty is a relative thing, so it's hard to know how hard YOU will find each exam.

Personally, I would list their difficulty like this:

EASY:
Principles of Management
Here’s to Your Health
Intro Business Law
Principles of Marketing

MODERATE:
Intro to World Religions
Macroeconomics

HARD:
Principles of Accounting
Microeconomics
Statistics
Finance
(I haven't taken Art of the Western World).

In terms of which order to take them in, I would just try to group certain exams close together, as follows:

Principles of Management
Principles of Marketing

Statistics
Principles of Accounting
Finance

Macroeconomics
Microeconomics

Hope that helps,
