Analyzing and Interpreting Literature was the easiest for me. I just went over the CLEP test questions to get familiar with how the test would look. If you are a good reader and enjoy reading old english works (Dickens, Austen, etc.) and poetry, this will probably be a slam dunk test. If you have difficulty reading than this will be a harder test for you...it really depends on what your interests are and what you know. Hope this helps!!

Here are the exams that I thought were easier.
DSST Intro to Business (got an A, no study)
CLEP Analyzing and Interpreting Literature (studied night before only)
DSST Principles of Supervision (got an A. One half-hearted week of instantcert)
Others will probably tell you that CLEP Intro to Sociology and CLEP Intro to Psychology are among the easiest. I'll find out soon.
Do a search on "easiest". You'll find oodles of info.

For me Social Science and History, and as Auminer49r stated, Intro to Sociology.
I scored high on both with no study at all.

I thought analyzing and interpreting literature was the easiest, but my husband struggled with a 50. (he is a magazine /newspaper reader type) It is all analyzing and interpreting literature (which is how they came up with such a clever title!) So there isn't really anything to "study." You can, for your own curiosity, google literary terms that you might come across (stanza, theme, mood, etc) so you are confident in what the question is asking. I found a list online somewhere. There were about 10 words that I reviewed.
There IS a lot of reading, you'll use most or all of your time. There won't be any questions about who-wrote-what. Just read the passage and answer questions about the passage. It's questions like this:
What did the author mean by "fire" in line 3? A) anger B) heat C) death D) hell
My first three exams were Human Growth and Development, Intro Psych, Intro Sociology. I'll be the odd duck here and say that they were not terrible, but I absolutely needed to study for each of them. My tests had a lot of names-theories-and classification of stages. The function of each part of the brain? These are not things the average Joe knows in my opinion. :confused: Maybe they do. I didn't.
I think that the information is mostly interesting to most people and that the subjects do have a lot of common information- which can be mistaken as "easy" but I wouldn't walk in cold. That's just me.

I guess it's just me, I am good in Normal English Literature, but Analyzing and Interprating was so hard and frastrating for me, I had to cancel the Exam, the old type of English really gace me a headache.
But many people say it's easy, unfortunetly I am just not one of those people

I think it differs for everyone. If you have any prior knowledge of a specific subject go for that. If you know your strengths and weaknesses "accentuate the positive" as they say. Check out the list here for one opinion Clep Difficulty List - Free-Clep-Prep.com.
I originally started my CLEP journey with REA and CLEP guides for Analyzing & Interpreting Literature thinking I was fairly well-read - it was a "no go" from the start. I just blank-out when it comes to analysis.
My eminently intelligent mother told me to play to my strengths, which for me is anything that involves memorization. I switched to a subject I knew nothing about - Psychology, studied with every resource available, textbooks, IC, REA and CLEP guides, etc. - the works. It took months, but I was rewarded with success in all three CLEP Psych tests.
