Thanks everyone for the warm greetings, I'm so glad I found this community!
Cinderly, thanks for ranking them from easiest to hardest for me. It's good to know how much prep time to devote to each one.
I think both Humanities and Biology will be rough for me. Literature and Art are my worst subjects, my backround in nill. In Highschool Biology I passed, but barely. I'm constantly amazed at people taking such hard exams and passing them with a few days prep time. I guess I shouldn't be, as I passed both sociology and psychology with 1 day prep each, . Given my weak background I think I should take at least a week of study for both the 6 credit Biology and Humanities exams. I'm also worried about the economics CLEPs, I've already got the Micro and Macro REA guides as well as the Barrons Economics review which is 500 pages of small print and graphs. I want to approach the economics CLEPs together because the material isn't separated by micro and macro in the Barrons review, I'll take about a week to read the Barrons guide and then the micro and macro REA guides and practice tests and take them both on the same day. As far as the other CLEPs go, I think the REA guides will be sufficient as their reviews on Amazon.com indicate.
Any suggestions to make things easier than I plan or do I have the right idea?
