CLEP College Math vs. CLEP College Algebra

[traffic]

Which one is easier?

I searched the forum and people have different opinions, but seem that since Math is worth 6cr. it would be more complex than Algebra for 3cr.? Is DSST Algebra (or any other test) easier than either of the CLEPs?

I only need 3 credits to satisfy Math+Quantative Requirements in Excelsior.

Thank you!

I've only taken College Math and I will tell you it's a bit broad. It includes alot, but once you got it, you got it. If you know the stuff in the outline, you'll do wonderfully. Unlike other tests where you can know the general outline and still feel lost on the test. But from what I understand College Algebra is only algebra. There's no geometry, pre-cal, etc that could be on the college math. Therefore, it's easier to study for.
