As an avid CLEP taker, I can attest that if you focus on 1 exam at a time and cram the info in for a few days, most of the exams should not be too difficult to pass. Using Modern States is a great way to keep costs down as well as they give a voucher for a free CLEP if you pass their quizzes. They even pay for your parking fees if the test location has a parking ramp. I used a combination of Modern States and YouTube to pass all my exams. Crash Course and Khan Academy are 2 great YouTube sources.
Biggest pointer I can give is to search for the school you want to transfer to, find their CLEP transfer policy, and study it. Things to watch out for are higher than anticipated passing rates, such as your school needing a score of 80 compared to another school only needing a 60, as well as the Writing courses that have modular/written portions along with them. Not all schools require the written portions, and unfortunately for those that do, their grading can be pretty harsh at times with no feedback given. I "failed" Analyzing and Interpreting Literature according to my Community College because I didn't pass the written portion, but Excelsior accepted it as a pass because I score high enough on my exam portion. That is your last piece of advice I can give you as well, just because your target school doesn't like the grade, others may still take it as a pass, just do the best you can and good luck.
