I'd start with the intro to sociology as everyone states that is one of the easiest. I took mine today and passed. I studied about four days.

Sociology, Marketing, Management and Business. I don't see Analyzing & Interpreting Lit on your list, but if you can take it, it might be an easy 3 hours.
Cleps:
Introduction Business Law 65
Principles of Management 70
Principles of Marketing 71
A&I Literature 68
American Lit 59
Educational Psychology 68
Social sciences & history 65
Western Civilization I 64
What lies before us and what lies behind us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

Info Sys is easy if you know computers -- and if you don't know computers, I would pick up a book to fill in around IC.
There are lots of easy questions like "which one is an input device? [a. printer b. monitor c. CPU d. mouse e. text editor]" but also a few questions like "What's the output of the following pseudocode?" "Which of these is a valid SQL command?" so you need to either learn a little about that or make sure you know enough of the easy ones cold so it doesn't matter whether you miss the hard ones.
I thought Business Law was one of the harder of the easy tests, but it's certainly doable. Get the Barron's book from the library to supplement IC.

I have just had three people to take that test. I hope to get their specific feedback posted tomorrow. (hubby, daughter and sister).
I have feedback from two of the three so check that members thread tomorrow evening.
If you are not that familiar with computers I would stick to something else. It's not that's it difficult, but seems like you've certainly got your work cut out for you.
These are great boards to find out which ones overlap info. I would do those as it would be easiest to study.
Good Luck!

I have to agree with taking Sociology, especially if you've already taken Psych.
If you enjoy Lit. and art, I suggest Humanities. It would be more of a "fun" test. If you have taken any of the Lit. tests you will already have a head start. About 20% is Lit. and will boost your score if you do well in this sect.
~ If you decide to take Humanites, check out the post "Do's and Don'ts for Humanities".
