    Default What to take next?

    Well i am new to the board, im 22 hoping to graduate by the end of august...i have 24 more credits needed to graduate of electives not including the summer courses im registered for....i just passed the socio exam on friday with a score of a 55 with only one day of studying so i was happy with that...

    what tests would you recommend next? i dont want to do the a&I, i took the college board practice test and it seemed really hard...plus i really like using the instantcert cards...


    any suggestions??? I was considering the american lit exam, also considering macro and micro...in the end i need 24 more credits.

    I would recommend Principles of Management if your college will accept it with all that you have taken so far. Frankly, I thought that Principles of Management was even easier than Sociology, and I studied for both of them in a relatively short period of time.

    I am studying for Macroeconomics right now. The subject matter doesn't seem too difficult. However, I can't offer feedback about the actual CLEP because I haven't taken it yet. What other options do you have? Now that you are getting so close to the end, it seems that your options may be a little less vast. Will your college accept any of the CLEPs or DANTES as elective credits?

    Management,Marketing,Psychology,Algebra are all easy especially with the REA books. If you don't have too much time I would recommend you buy/borrow the REA study guides for these exams, you should pass each with about a week of prep.

    Good luck!

    Perhaps you can advise what you are eligible to take too so a focused choice listing could be fine tuned.....

    Principles of Mangement is a great choice. If you know the InstantCert flashcards well, you can easily get a high score on this exam. I studied for a very short amount of time and I finished in about 45 minutes with a score of 70. To tell you the truth, I do not even remember a single stressful moment during the whole exam. I was completely prepared (and beyond) with just IC. Principles of Management is the easiest one I have taken so far. Keep us posted when you are done. Good Luck!
