Anyway, here are the CLEP's I'm hoping to take. I just finished up a couple Straighterline courses and I'm currently working on the Sociology CLEP review on Modern States.
Principles of Microeconomics
Principles of Microeconomics
Financial Accounting
Information Systems
Introductory Business Law
Principles of Management
Principles of Marketing
Does order matter for any of these? I have limited familiarity with business, I was an hourly manager and have done some reports and inventory reviews and that sort of thing, but, nothing real in depth. A lot of this will be new material for me.
I've taken all those except for Account. Management, Marketing, Information Systems, and Macroeconomics can all be passed with around 2-3 hours of studying Instacert flashcards. Accounting, Business Law, and Microecon will take a little bit more studying, as the answers aren't really intuitive. Maybe 5 hours for those more difficult courses, not much more. Microecon overlaps alot with Macro, so take Macro first. There's also some overlap between Management and Marketing. Both of those tests are so easy that it won't matter.
If I were you, I would study the Instacert flashcards for Management or Marketing for 2-3 hours, go take the test, and then calibrate your studying from there. Modern States is very lax about giving you a voucher to retake a failed CLEP test, though College Board requires you to wait 3 months between retakes.
