I just found out that I need a couple more classes to graduate on time so I am going to try and CLEP out of two of them to save me time and money. These are the classes that I can test out of:
Introductory Sociology
Human Growth and Development
Social Sciences and History
Humanities
Analysis and Interpretation of Literature
I wanted to get opinions on which two I should go for and also the best study materials for them. Any help would be great because im feeling a little overwhelmed right now.

My choices would definetly be Analyzing and Interpreting Literature and Intro to Sociology. I've taken both and feel that A&I is the easiest course they have. Read some of the specific input from others here on the forum and decide for yourself.

Hello sbaker86 and welcome to the forums!
My friends who have taken exams have said that A&I American Literature is fairly easy but all exams vary from person to person. I don't know about the other exams but I would go with Analyzing and Interpreting American Literature. If you are a InstantCert subscriber you can access the specific exam feedback forum. You should check that out!

I'd say Humanities & Analyzing and Interpretating Literature.
Humanities is very broad, but is an easy pass if you use IC and have a basic love for the arts.
A&I Lit is practically a reading comprehension test from what I've read. I'm taking it next.

I went through the instantcert note cards for Human Growth and Development 4 times and passed with 63. I studied in my spare time for about 2 and 1/2 weeks.

Used REA book, read once, took all 3 tests in book and reviewed ALL answers to questions, as well as reviewed IC cards 3 times, then passed with a great score. Much of this may be common sense for some but then there are some names and specifics for that person you need to know. As stated, the specific exam feedback sections will give you the best information you need to know.
