Need 15 more Credits...Experts Please Help me Decide

[cookderosa]

Hi all my first post here. I need 15 more credits for my degree, wondering which exams would be the easiest/fastest way to get me there.

What I've taken so far: American Gov't., A&I Literature, Intro to Sociology, and Intro to Psychology.

I'm looking now into the Dantes and a few more possible Cleps. The one's I am able and interested in taking are:

History U.S. I &/or II
Principle of Microeconomics
Spanish Level 1 (not sure how much I need to know?...fluency?)
Social Sciences and History
English Literature
Ethics in America DSST
Personal Finance DSST
Principles of Supervision DSST
Money and Banking DSST
Here's to Your Health DSST
Astronomy DSST
Physical Geology DSST
Intro to World Religions DSST
Principles of Public Speaking DSST

......and there are quite a few more social sciences that would apply to my degree.

Right now I'm confused which topics to pick from. I just want to get my degree done as easily and quickly as possible. Which would you choose?

I can't imagine that you can just take anything- especially if you are at the end of your degree. You should check, because you can't duplicate credit. Planning exams gets harder as you get closer to finishing and have fewer slots to fill- and fewer exam choices that meet the criteria....

But, let's assume you just need gen ed electives. Based on what you took, I'd suggest this group which could be finished in 1 month:
US History 1, 3 credits
US History 2, 3 credits
Human Growth and Development, 3 credits
Social Studies and History, 6 credits

Do it in that order. That block combines with your previous study to prepare you for the 6 credit SS&H exam without additional study. History 1 and 2 would require the biggest chuck of study time- 2 weeks each. Human Growth can be done in about 1 week, and serves as the brush up for psychology. You won't need additional study for SSH since your existing exams cover almost all of the material.
