Hey, I'm brand new @ this. What are the best subjects to test on first, just getting a general feel for this? Which tests are generally not accepted in the pickier colleges? What tests am I going to need for just about any career I choose?

Have you completed your freshman english yet? That is a good six hours saved if you need it. How about the natural science series for another six hours or if you need history the U.S. History I and II.

May I suggest the Analyzing and Interpreting Literature CLEP? It is worth 6 credits and is fairly easy to take/prepare for if your reading comprehension skills are up to snuff. If you can read the the New York Times, The Canterbury tales the King James bible, or some Shakespear and have an idea of what is going on you'll be ok. After you take your first CLEP its all gravy from there.

I second A&I Literature...I'd take that over U.S. History 1 or 2. (Although if you do take one of those, I've heard the 2nd one is easier.)

US History II has a lot more acts and stuff that isn't in US History I. (Of course it depends on your prior knowledge.) Regards, R.

What tests am I going to need for just about any career I choose? A&I Lit is one of the easier one (and I barely pass)...However, it is a lot of reading (a few Passages) and time is not your friend on this one. The other thing to remember is that easy is relative......to your knowledge base.....ie if you are into healthcare, then HTYH, or SUBSTANCE ABUSE/DRUG AND ALCOHOL would be considered easy for you. Most of these exams are applicable to any Degree...just search the FORUM for degree plans and you will see the overlapping. Remember INSTANCTCERT ACADEMY makes the process easier.

I can believe it...History 2 did seem hard to me (and I only passed with a 54)...but as far as it being easier than History 1, I was just going off of what a friend told me.

A & I Lit is a good first test, but it may not count at your school. It seems to be one I see left off the list often. US History 1 would be a good bet, so would Intro Psychology. I'd say you will likely get a social science exam to count above all else. Also, I would say if you are going for a BS or anything in science/health/math then skip those CLEPs, they won't count because they don't have labs. If you are going for business, any of the intros would be good. Good Luck! The first is always the hardest!
