I need 2 electives and a Science test to finish my BSBA at UOP.
Any suggestions for tests using IC only? I'm also looking for some easy tests if anyone has any suggestions, I'm hoping to finish all three by the end of the month? Does that seem realistic?
I failed Here's to Your Health!! I didn't think I had to study, I was told it was common sense but I guess not for me.. So I wont be retaking that one?
Need help please..

Three cleps in a month is very realistic. However, I think it would help everyone to know what exams you haven't taken yet, in order to give you their recommendations.

2 electives and a science course for business administration? well - I'm getting my BSBA from Thomas Edison - so I don't know if everything matches up with your[I][/I] school...
For my "free electives" I had American Literature, Humanities, Social Science and History, and math. If you're pretty good in the music/art/literature realm - take the 6 credit humanity test! Depending on your background, I think Instantcert would be enough for that test. Social Science and History wasn't too bad for me -- but it was harder than Humanities.
If you need a business elective -- Principles of Supervision, Business Math, Introduction to business. DANTE tests -- 1st and 2nd are very doable.
As always, check with your school to make sure the test you are taking will fulfill your course requirements. YOU CAN DO IT!!

I can't speak for anyone else but I had very little knowledge of the topics covered on the Humanities exam beforehand and passed with a 63 by only studying IC.
For the science credits are you looking at having to take a subject exam like biology or does the subject include math and sciences?

I would consider taking the 6 credit CLEP Analyzing & Interpreting Literature test. It requires 0 study time, (other than the 15 minutes needed to brush up on Literary devices like...What is a metaphor or simile etc...)

I agree with Geezer... Analyzing and Interpreting Literature is 6 credits and you can google "literary devices" to find all the Vocab. words you need to know for the test.

And if 2 votes isn't enough, I'll add in mine. That was the nicest CLEP.... assuming you don't mind reading- have a good understanding of English- and can stay focused for 90 minutes. I think most agree it really takes the whole time (it did me!) and some passages require rereading (twice!)
JUST BE SURE that IoP takes that exam, from time to time I have noticed that colleges leave that off their list of approved CLEPs. (even the college I work for doesn't count it):confused:

Does IC have anything to study for Analyzing and Interpreting Literature? hhmmmm or what are those sites that have those practice exams?
