What are the easiest upper level exams?
I need to take 12 UPPER LEVEL credits in electives. (4 courses) I can do Excelsior or DSST exams.
Based on my interest and Gerontology degree I've narrowed it to:
EXCELSIOR:
PSCY 353 Abnormal Psychology
HRMN 300 Human Resource Mgmt.
BMGT 464 Organizational Behaviour
PSYC 321 Social Psychology
Cultural Diversity
Labor Relations
World Population
Research Methods in Psychology
DSST:
BMGT496 Business Ethics and Society
Substance Abuse
I just need to pass as these are not counted in my GPA but I still want an easy exam (uncomplicated material to study). Any advice is GREATLY appreciated.!!!

I really liked Substance Abuse. I wouldn't say that it's the easiest one out there, but I thought it was very interesting. Since studying an interesting topic makes it easier, I would recommend if you like this at all.

I have taken most of the ECE's you mention and while they are harder than the DSST's they are doable. They are also much more expensive. DSST has Business Law II which is also an UL exam, as is Management Info Systems. I would do Substance Abuse too. ECE's are more involved and you must fully understand the concepts and be able to apply them in scenarios. If you want to group the psych exams that makes them a little more doable. I wouldn't say any of them are easy, but you can do them with some dedicated study time and with the EC practice exams. If your exams have them, they are well worth the extra cost. Good luck!

Good point about MIS. I enjoyed that one and didn't find it too difficult with enough study, of course. I would say that it depends on how you feel about computers and networks. I take BL II tomorrow, so we'll see about that one...

Good luck with biz law II!
Business ethics and miis are good if you know a little about them beforehand. Exam specific feedback was good for business ethics studying.
