Are those the only three exams you can take or can you take any three or do you just need three that are in a specific catagory? That said........the Specific Exam board has lots of info on each test so you can see how much work it will take to prep for. Personally, any CLEP that has a REA book that gets good ratings on this board would be my first choice. All of the exams I have taken (except TECEP's) had a great REA book and I only used that and the IC cards. OH and take the Petersons practice tests to gauge how you are doing. I take them without knowing a thing, then take another one and make notes of what I do not know during the practice exam and then I take the last one once I have studied my REA, IC and the first two practice tests to see where I really am. Read the Specific exam board carefully and posters will all state if the Peterson practice exams were a good indication of being ready.
There are plenty of degree seekers here that will help you with their resources once you decide what to take. I took Foundations of Counseling without much more than a fast week if that of review and it was pretty easy but also took Substance Abuse with another rushed week of review and it was not hard but would not suggest it if you are under the gun for timing. Find three tests that overlap and life will be much easier. Is Intro to Psych, Human Growth & Dev and another psych an option?
After you decide on the big three... then there is nothing left to doing it but doing it!
