Advice on Which CLEP to Take

[CapOne818]

I need some advice on which test to take. I can choose between Natural Science or Social Science/History, both of which are not strong subjects for me. Does anyone have any recomendations on which would be the easier of the two? Thanks.

Have you taken any of the classes that comprise either exam? For instance, have you taken bio, chem, or physics? If so, then the natural science test would be a good fit. If you've taken US or world history, psych, sociology, govt, or anthropology then the social sciences would be a good fit. None of the subjects are deep, just broad. Good luck!

I have not taken any classes associaed with either exam. I'm going in blind...

Unless you're a naturally science-y person, I would go with Social Sci & History. Much of it will merely be building on common knowledge. While I didn't find it to be an easy test, I also purely didn't devote enough time to studying for it (it was the last I took, I was in burnout mode :p).

Then I'll also suggest the social science exam. Check out the REA book on CLEP General Exams. It has study material for all 5 tests.
