First make sure UOP accepts CLEPs,how many and what scores..most of the time it is a 50 but some schools want higher.
Go to the exam feedback section to learn about the test and what people recommend. http://www.degreeforum.net/specific-exam-feedback-only/
Most people buy the official CLEP book which covers the general exams and gives short preview of the subject,then use Instacert to learn the material and then take the tests in the book to see if you are ready. The tests closely mirror the real thiing as they are from the same company. For specific subjects read the exam thread,but normally it is Instacert, maybe a study guide and Petersons or the like to see if you are on track. Take heed Petersons are normally harder than the real thing.
If you want se what a CLEP is like for real you can take the A&I lit test,if UOP accepts it..6 humanities credits and no studying cause if you read the feedback,you really cant.
As for being smart enough I will say I have met many people that werent that bright who have a degree. The less innate ability you have the harder you need to work. That is what college, at least the liberal arts are for,teaching you to read,write,speak,critically think,schedule, it isnt about the material per se.
