I am trying to figure out the best order to knock out my next several exams.
I will need both Macro & Microeconomics CLEPs, The Principles of Finance DSST & the Money and Banking DSST.
I want to study in an order that will/may overlap to shorten the time. These tests seem to have similar/overlapping concepts.
Anyone study for and take any of these together? If so what order or what order would you do it if you did it again?
Thanks
Paul

I'd take them in the order you listed, Macro, Micro, Finance, and finally Money and Banking.

If I were going to take those all back to back, I'd take them in this order: Micro, Macro, Money and Banking, and then Finance.
I've taken all four of those tests, so my advice is based on my personal experience.

Thanks for both of your replies. I think just starting with the economics will get the ball rolling.

Yes, Macro then Micro then Finance then M&B. They all build on each other and M&B has elements of the three previous courses.

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.

Thanks for the replies.
I am taking Management Info Systems tomorrow and will probably book the Macro and Micro tests for a few weeks out. I already started the IC cards on Macro and when not online I have a couple Economics books to read.

Still at it. I passed MACRO (63) and MICRO (64) 2 days ago. I took them at the same time and I posted specific feedback. The tests did not seem that bad but I was pretty intense with studying and making a notebook from the Cliffs AP macro/micro book. The book had a few diagram and spelling errors (I had an older version) but they were easy to figure out.
Thanks for the prior advice. I am going to start studying for Principles of Finance and Money and Banking.
There is a new test center that opened within a reasonable distance of my house and they will schedule exams on almost NO notice. I am going to see how quickly I can get these done.
I have to do an online refresher clinic for my CFI rating that takes 16 hours so, I want to knock these out in a week so I can to start working on that.
