Hi everyone,
I'm pretty new here (wish I would have found this sooner)! I've been taking one test a week for the past 5 weeks. So... I'm getting close to being done. At least with the "tests" I can take.
Here is my current issue: I need to have two upper level class completed quickly. It doesn't matter what class it may be (prefer DANTES - i.e. cost). I'm already planning on taking Civil War and Reconstruction. BUT, I'm in need of one additional upper level course.
So... Can someone please tell me what is the EASIEST / QUICKEST test I can take?

What is upper level at TESC is not Upper level at EC etc. What about Calculus CLEP TESC gives upper level for that?

Thanks guys....
I'm not at TEC or EC. I'm actually at SUNY. Althought, I can still use there tests. I've already gotten MANY upper level math courses.... The final course I need (could) be math, but don't need to be. I'm leaning towards MIS....
Any other suggestions out there?

I thought all the CLEP exams were lower level...anyway, the dsst upper levels are:
Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union
Civil War and Reconstruction
Drug and Alcohol Abuse
Principles of Finance
Business Law II
Money and Banking
Management Information Systems
All are worth 3 UL credit, I just looked these up yesterday, on the prometric website, and for the Revised exams you need a score of 400 to pass, old exams range from 45 to 49 to pass. I am taking Civil War and Reconstruction Tues., but I haven't taken any of these yet, so I don't know what 'easiest', but since you're a math person Principles of Finance or Money and Banking might work, check with your school though and make sure it's not duplicative credit for something you've already taken.

This is a hard question. By upper level, do you mean 200, 300, or 400? Also, does your college have a list of what level they give you for the tests? I guess I'm trying to figure out the proper definition to answer your question.
I know your not at TESC, but at TESC anything 200+ is upper level (in fact, they don't call it that because they don't even have "upper level") but at my community college, 200 level is "lower level" so we need clarity.

I should have gone to TESC!!! LOL
The upper levels (for me) must be 300 or 400. My school will accept ANY CLEP, DANTES, EC, TESC credits from their exams... The test must be stipulated as "Upper Level" by the place giving the test. So, for example, as long as DANTES says its Upper, then they take it as upper.
