CLEP Tests? CLEP Tests?

06-25-2015 , 02:14 AM
Anyone do these? I'm hoping to knock some electives out, wondering if anyone has experience/advice. They don't have anything to do with my major so I'm pretty much looking to take the easiest ones possible. How much studying on average would it take to pass one of these with little or no previous knowledge of the subject?

Here's the CLEP tests my school awards credits for, I removed classes I've already taken + the foreign languages:
  • English Lit.
  • Principles of Microeconomics
  • Principles of Macoeconomics
  • Western Civilization II: 1648 to Present
  • History of the U.S. II: 1865 to Present
  • American Government
  • Human Growth and Development
  • Introductory Sociology
  • Chemistry
  • Precalculus - How much harder than is this than standard College Algebra? I'm probably below average at math by 2+2 standards but I got an A in Algebra without too much trouble and surprisingly kind of enjoyed it.
  • Calculus with Elementary Fractions - Same comment as Precalc.
  • Information Systems and Computer Applications
  • Financial Accounting
  • Introductory Business Law

I'm thinking Sociology+the History classes+maybe Precalc and/or Government? Idk what Human Growth and Dev. is but it sounds easy too.

Take the sample tests.

If you ace them, you stand a good chance of doing well on a CLEP test. You know there is a cost associated with CLEP and they aren't exactly cheap by most student-budget standards, so taking them without having a chance of passing is a waste of money.

I found basic Econs simple, Business law interesting but also relatively simple.

FA was one of my majors (Bach Commerce/Bach Applied Finance) and cant say i ever enjoyed it.
