Congratulations! As to what you should take next, that depends. Where are you or do you hope to go to college? (Not all colleges accept all exams.) What degree would you like to obtain? (Different course requirements for differnt degrees.)
In addition to posters' opinions, you might want to search for the most recent thread on DOD (Dept. of Defense) test results. This is a listing of the CLEPs and DSSTs taken by service members (SM), and their pass rates. I think the policy has changed, but it used to be that SMs could take CLEPs and DSSTs for free as many times as they wanted to take them. The assumption made by most in this forum was it was less likely for a tester to study if s/he didn't have to pay for the exam,and that the passing rates were good indicators of how easy/hard each exam was. The policy regarding unlimited free exams may have changed recently.
