Default Which test should I take next?

Well I just passed the World Religion test with a 58. My highest score yet, which is not saying alot.

My question is, which test should I take next?

I have passed several dante/cleps but all of them with the lower end scores, like I said that 58 was the highest I have scored yet.

A run down of my history and subjects that I have passed.

Supervision 52
Principles of Management 50
Human Resource Management 54
English w essay 56
Freshmen Comp 51
Tech Writing 50
Intro to Computing only passed by a point
World Religion 58
A and I Literature 51
Intro to Business 52

Now the ones I have failed.

Here's to your health (failed by a point)
Ethics in America (failed by 2 points)
English without essay
MIS failed by ALOT


So with that said which should I take next? Any thoughts or opinions would be very helpful.

What exams do you NEED to take?


If you can (must) take these (CLEP Exams), then take them in this order: Intro to Sociology, Intro to Pschology, Educational Psychology, Human Growth & Development.

CLEP - Intro to Marketing.

DANTES - Organizational Behavior Exam is a swing course in that it can be used either in Business or as a social science.

What's wrong with the four exams I suggested?

Nothing is wrong with them Sir, I must not have read that when I saw your reply, I just read the part about which area of study I was interested in. Sorry about that.

No need to apologize, I just was wondering why they wouldn't be helpful to your degree program as many-many-many students have taken them. Good Luck!

I agree with Shoto,

All these exams are highly passable with enough study. They are also pass/fail exams, so you wouldn't have to be concerned about getting passing scores at the lowish end of the spectrum.

Additionally, the exams build on each other and overlap. So you will be able to maximize your studies.

For these reasons, I would go with Shoto's suggestions.

Good luck,
Snazzlefrag

I think I forgot to mention that I have taken the Sociology clep and failed with a 47. I thought all the tests including Dante were just pass or fail?

I have since then actually taken the Soc class and passed with a B and almost done taking PSY as well.

Many Dantes exams rate a letter grade.

Then I would go with DSST Organizational Behavior instead of Sociology. It is graded, but you have passed a few DSSTs before, so you should be fine. If you can pass DSST Human Resource Management, you can pass DSST OB. Also, as Shoto mentioned, it works equally well as business credit or as arts & science credit.

Hope we're helping,
