I need to take 2 cleps. I was thinking ether Intro to Soc., Intro to Philosophy, Intro to Educational Philosophy. It looks to me like Intro to Soc. and Intro to Edu. Phil. are the easiest but I'm not sure.
I just took my first clep ever (analyzing and interreting lit) and passed with a 57 so these will be my 2nd and 3rd cleps ever. Any advise is greatly appreciated.

I think you mean Psychology.... don't think there is a philosophy CLEP... :confused: If you did mean Introductory Psychology, I would go with that one and Sociology. They overlapped quite a bit; there was a good-sized chunk of information that was on both CLEPs. My thoughts on these two CLEPs are posted here --->
http://www.degreeforum.net/excelsior-tho...post136710 (additionally, if you'd like a list of specific things to study for Sociology, I compiled one that I could PM you if you'd like). They were both very easy CLEPs, but I'd say Psychology was easier. However, I didn't take Ed. Psych., so I don't know how that one compares to the other two.
Good luck on your tests!

OMG yes! It totally is Psychology, I'm loosing my mind
I appreciate the advice! I can pick any 2 cleps, it looks like these were easier then others so I selected them. I signed up with instacert so I was planning to use that to study. Do you think I need additional recources to ensure I pass?

The Intro to Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice DSST were really interesting to study for and overlapped considerably. They were not hard tests at all. Instantcert and an hour or so on the FBI Uniform Crime reports website will get you through with good scores. You don't need to waste any money on additional study guides.
Good Luck
