I'd suggest you go for Analyzing and Interpreting Literature (six credits) because it's usually super easy and a great test to take. If you're good with number then take College Mathematics (six credits). If you're good with history, then there are four specific history tests (U.S. History I and II; Western Civ I and II) you can take with CLEP (twelve credits).
I found that Introductory Sociology and Psychology were really easy for someone with a good sized vocabulary. And Principles of Marketing and Management also were not too difficult.
Definitely use Petersons practice exams and InstantCert and REA books as your principle study materials--these are the best. My site has more info on all of them. Happy clepping!

College Mathematics could be 3 hours or 6 hours. It depends on the school.
If DSST exams are an option (depends on who is giving you the credit), Technical Writing is easy.
Here is a good resource to help you figure out which exams to take:

Unfortunately this is one of those instances where it just can't be waived.

Another thing your recruiter may not have mentioned is, if you sign up for community college now and have a plan made up with your advisor to achieve 15 credits through the college, you can actually enlist and remain in the delayed entry program until you complete your plan and obtain your credits.

It's funny how they have waivers for finincial irresponsibility, criminal backgrounds and the like, but not for a GED? I've been in for ten years and some of the high school graduates I met seemed like they're still in middle school. I could understand for some of the technical jobs, but there's many jobs where a GED is more than adequate.

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.

It really isn't a matter of ones adequacy or qualification for the job, it really is just a simple numbers game. Only a certain number of candidates with a GED can join during a fiscal year. As the year goes on, the requirements actually get stricter as Pfigueroa is experiencing now. By the time October rolls around there will be few spots if any left open. This game holds true for other categories as well such as females, females with a GED (getting a female with a GED into the Navy was almost like trying to find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow - these spots are very very rare), heck even females that graduated high school with a bonafide diploma were still required to score at least a 50 on the ASVAB to qualify for entry into the Navy.
