Hi all, this is my first post on this site. I have been reading quite a bit of the threads and it has shed some light on my questions about CLEPs. I considered it my first year of college, but I wasn't very motivated to do them at that time. I recently transferred from one B&M school(traditional classroom setting) so I can finish my degree online at another B&M school. The first school's traditional setting just wasn't the best fit for me fresh out of high school at all. So I'll be starting again in January at another B&M school and finishing online. Just wanted to give everyone a little background 
What I need advice on: I'm trying to graduate in December 2015. I have 48 credits from my first B&M school. Here's the breakdown of what I have left in my degree:
Core- All classes but Intro to Sociology completed(which I can CLEP out of).
Major courses- 30 credits(will be starting in January)- The way my online degree works, all of the courses are 8 week accelerated courses, and I will be taking 3 of them every 8 weeks, so this spring, I will complete 18 credits in the Spring semester then 12 in the Fall semester.
Major supplement courses-9 credits- Principles of Accounting(I know CLEP calls it Financial accounting), Principles of Macro Economics, and American National Government(Political Science).
Minor courses- 15 credits(which I plan to take during the summer).
Electives- My advisor said I need 15 credits to get to 120.
My question is, should I try CLEP out of Intro to Sociology, Principles of Accounting(My school counts it as 6 credits, Acct. 2010 and 2020 if you pass, so I would have an additional 3 hours to go towards electives), Macro, and American National government, and try to take some random Cleps for for those last 12 hours? I asked and he said it doesn't matter where the electives come from and that I am allowed to CLEP out of them. What CLEPS did everyone find particularly easy just for elective credits? Does this sound like a good plan? I know I can only take a CLEP once every 6 months, and I would have to take 6 or 7 of them in a year in order to graduate on time in December. Is it doable in your opinion? Any feedback would be great!
