Where to start?
#9
Alleycat's suggestion about testing for what you know is a good one. Also, get your credits evaluated. Which school gives you more bang for the buck (puts you closer to a degree)? If you're testing, you might want to check Free Clep Prep.com Justin does a good job of listing how hard the CLEPs and DSSTs are, and which tests build on knowledge that you needed to have for a prior exam. "Easiness" is subjective. There is a vast, gaping maw in my brain that should be filled with math intelligence. Those subjects might be easy for you. As to easiness, some folks like to see the military stats on passage rates for different CLEPs and DSSTs. At one point, service members could take the exams as many times as they wanted to without paying fees. The logic of using their passage rates was that it was assumed that, since they didn't have to pay, they might not have studied as long or as paying testers. That data might help you guage the difficuly of exams, too.

Regardless of how you go about it, just GO ABOUT IT! Even if you take a few missteps, at least you're moving. Good luck, and welcome to the forum. (Oh, and just know if you beat me to a degree [I only have 6 credits left], I will hate you forever.)
