What next?

Yesterday I passed my Astronomy DSST and now i'm trying to figure out what I should study for next. I also took the Western Civ I CLEP a few months back, so I have that under my belt as well. I could use science credit and another history. I didn't study enough when I took my American Government CLEP, so I didn't pass that one. Any ideas about what would be a good test to study for next?

Congrats on passing the Astronomy and welcome to the board! What else do you need other than the tests you've mentioned? Is that it? I thought that Environment & Humanity was a fun and relatively easy test. At COSC, it's a science credit, but you might want to double-check if you take it. Also, if you've studied for American Govt and need a quick and fun elective, Intro to Law Enforcement was a really enjoyable and easy test. A handful of amendments and Supreme Court cases + a few other really interesting topics = a pass that gives a letter grade if you take the non-refreshed DSST. I didn't take any of the history tests, so I can't comment on those, but I would probably choose the one that is most interesting to you. I always have an easier time studying when the subject matter is something I want to learn about.

Since you need a history subject, how about Dantes Civil War & Reconstruction? It is probably the most straightforward test I have taken so far. And the subject is ultra interesting!
Also, it has some Am. Govt. stuff on it, like amendments, laws and stuff and you already know that.

I took US History 1, then Civil War, and am studying for US History 2 now, and of the 3, I found Civil War the easiest to study for and definitely interesting.

Awesome, thanks for the replies. I'll check out the Civil War practice tests. I don't need any electives.Thankfully my college takes my military training and converts it towards my electives. I was interested in Biology, but that is such a broad subject with tons of questions.

I second the vote for Environment and Humanity -if you pay any attention at all, you will find it easy and interesting. Just double check to make sure YOUR college accepts it as a science. EC did toward my AS.

Yeah, Enviroment and Humanity is next. I spoke with my academic advisor and she said my school would accept it. The material is somewhat dry at times, but maybe thats because i'm sorta burnt out on studying. I took a Peterson's test and got almost 60% on it, so i don't think it will take long to get familiar with the material. Thanks for all the help!
