need advice on cleps - dymablink - 03-15-2010
i finished classes at my college and decided for my fnal 9 credits to take clep exams. I need a total of 9 credits. I have 2 options. Either take 3 cleps (worth 3 credits each)- intro to management, psych human development, and american government or one of those (for 3 credits) and an accounting clep (which would give me 6 credits for this one exam). What advice can you guys give me? my friends all say take 3 exams because accounting clep will be too hard

Well, the cleps you mentioned are business and social science- typically these are not interchangeable. Are you certain any of those count? In other words, I have never heard of a management exam counting as a gen ed credit, or a psych exam counting as a business credit.
*just double check
1. Growth and Human Development is very doable.
2. Intro Psych is very doable.
3. Intro Management is very doable.
4. Government require serious study time.
5. Accounting requires serious study time.
I can suggest many others, but given the choices you listed, I'd go with the first three.

basically i need 3 credits towards my economics major (management)
and 6 credits towards electives to finish my degree of 120 credits. those are the only options because ive already completed classes in most of the cleps courses and some of them are not accepted by my college, hunter college.
is the human development clep multiple choice or fill in the blanks?

The Principles of Accounting CLEP was retired in 2007. This was the test that gives 6 credits.
Principles of Financial Accounting is worth 3 credits and covers Accounting I.
