Honestly the trick to CLEP exams is simply your studying method. We can sit here and list all the one we have taken and rank them by what we think is difficult but that would mean nothing to you. Honestly look over the exam breakdowns then look at the sample questions. If any subject jumps out at you take that one. There is a bunch of Psychology CLEP exams that go in order which you might really enjoy like I did. Also the exception to my statement may be A & I Lit CLEP, now I failed this one but I am sure it was because the amount of Poem's I got on my test. I am not good at poems and don't think I ever will be.
I would pick an exam, purchase the REA Guide from Amazon. Study until you feel like you can hit at least an 80% on the REA practice tests.
Also if you plan on taking 13 CLEPs, spend the money on the Official CLEP Study Guide. It will be well worth the money.
Pro Tip: Use REA, Supplement with YouTube and InstaCert. Obviously the downfall to the REA guides is they run around 25$ each. So you are looking at
80$ - CLEP EXAM
20-25$ - Test Center Fee
25$ - REA Guide
Per Exam which increase overall price per credit but passing them is worth the extra $25 to me, and don't forget to divide the cost by 13 for the Official CLEP Guide.
Also what do you mean by Goal is Credit Hours on my transcript? What transcript? What School? A lot of schools won't add CLEP credits to your transcript just because. I know the CC I am going to right now won't do this.

Thanks
