I'd like recommendations on where I should do this course with. I want the easy and fast route.

Saylor if you are good at studying on your own and taking 1 test. It's also cheap. But probably not as easy of an exam.
Otherwise Straighterline or Study.com.

Saylor is only one credit, I think.
I thought that the Sociology clep was pretty easy, and it's just one test.

Do I get to retake exam if I don't pass?

I thought about the CLEP too, but I've never taken any sociology course.

Yeah, you pay again for proctoring, but they are only $25.

For CLEP's, you have a 6-month waiting period to retake exams (I think it's 6 months??).
For Saylor, I think it's 2 weeks. But don't bother with the Saylor Soc course, it's only 1 credit and won't get you the diversity requirement that you need.
There are other options for it - Anthropology, World Geography, World History, Comparative Politics, Psychology of Women, World Religions, Marriage & the Family all have test-out or course options for around $100.

I studied minimally for like 2 weeks and then took the CLEP and passed it. Only other real options here are Study.com or SL and SL is likely to be the faster option.
