New member, Excelsior student need help choosing exams. Long, very long.
#1
I need 5 hours of Arts and Science and 9 hours of “Any Collegiate Study”. I would very much appreciate any advice on choosing the easiest exams I don’t care what they are in or about the cost so much as I don’t want to stress out about them.

I don’t know why it was so hard for me to find this forum but I think I have finally found something useful for my endeavor. I am very impressed by most of the posts in this forum and the cavalier attitude toward exam taking. So far I have taken three Uexcel courses:
Macroeconomics - B
Microeconomics - C
LIFE SPAN development – B
I found all of these to be very stressful but arguably easier than taking the 8 week courses. I intended to exam out of financial accounting and managerial accounting but the books were putting me to sleep and I just wasn’t sure I could pull off the exams.

For the past 18 months I have been pursuing a degree in Global Business from Excelsior. I am pretty much wrapping it up by taking my capstone course over the next 15 weeks but they cancelled another business concentration course (GLOBAL BUSINESS STRATEGY) that I need and don’t offer it again until October. I have also signed up for 2 more 8 week courses at Excelsior beginning next week.

The only other required course I have (not counting toward the Arts and Science and 9 hours of “Any Collegiate Study” requirements) is Organizational Behavior which I do plan to take the exam soon. The course syllabus looks way too tedious.

So now I am thinking about finishing up with exams after seeing your impressive results. I was not really aware of the CLEP or DSST exams and am not sure how to get the credit back to Excelsior but it seems like there is a much greater pool to choose from. This is what I have so far:
Uexcel WORLD CONFLICTS SINCE 1900
DSST Civil War Recommended on this site
DSST INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTING saw it on another post and looks easy

I would like some feedback on these exams or anything else you see in my post. I am looking for basically anything easy, intuitive and/or obvious. I don’t much care at all what the exams are in, just that I can read a book and take the exams. Also, any exam that is only worth 2 credits since I have an unequal number would work. I welcome any questions about what I have done so far.

Here is where I am:
