I thought all 3 of those test were easy. It would depend on your background and knowledge base.
Most people say A & I lit is easiest (if you are good at reading and understanding what you read) others have a hard time with it. If you go for that one the best thing to study is literary terms.
Race to save the planet is mostly basic bio and environmental stuff Eutrafication, food web etc.
Intro to computing I took the CLEP version, I am all self taught in computers and it wasn't to difficult, I have heard the DSST is easier.

The tech writing DSST was pretty easy I think you will do well. Honestly all of the tests you listed were pretty easy if you have good test taking skills, some basic computer knowledge (for the comp test), and study the IC stuff plus exam specific feedback (for env. & humanity).
I take it from your name that you are an HM in the Navy (forgive me if I am wrong). If that is the case I can provide details on how to get your Post 9/11 GI Bill to foot the bill for a TESC degree even if you tested out completely, I have done it twice with TESC (TA won't let you do this). I don't see why the same process wouldn't work for COSC or Excelsior if those are the routes you are taking.

Thanks, I put together a bunch of easy test to pick form based off feedback. I haven't study, but will like to take a test today and pass lol. Yes I was a HM in Navy, but I just separated. I am trying to get my bachelors asap, so I can apply for higher paying government jobs because my hubby is getting out soon. But yes I will love to recv'd that info about the post 9/11. I paid for the first test outta of pocket and about to pay for another one today. Tesc mentioned something about a 1600 fee to switch from the military option to the veterans option. They want me to pay that amount up front. Thanks for helping me out!
Are you still in?
