Help Me Choose Which Natural Science Exam to Take - PsychMajor - 10-14-2011
I will be enrolling at TESC in January and have received my academic evaluation. I have to take 6 credits in Natural Sciences and I'd like to test out of them. I have never taken a CLEP or DANTES exam before, but I have narrowed it down to 4 choices. For all of your pros, please help me to decide which to take. I'm really not that great with Natural Sciences or Mathematics, so the subject that is geared more towards non-Science degrees would be my preference.
Here are my choices:
CLEP
BIO-111/112-CE Biology- 6 credits or NAS-101/102-CE Natural Sciences- 6 credits
DSST (I'd have to take both of these)
COS-101-DE Introduction to Computing- 3 credits
ENS-201-DE Environment and Humanity: The Race to Save the Planet- 3 credits
TIA for your feedback!

Introduction to Computing is definitely the easiest science test. I heard that Environment and Humanity and Astronomy are the second or third easiest science tests.

I'd agree with the comments in the previous post- the Bio or Nat Sci CLEP would probably take longer to prepare for, so since time is money, I'd take two out of those three exams.

I passed both Computing and Environment&Humanity. Computing requires basic understanding and if you are moderately knowledgable about computers, is fairly easy. I scored 466. The Environment&Humanity is really common sense about the planet; I studied for one weekend and scored 70. It's the only test that I can say I enjoyed studying for because I love the subject.
