Default does test order matter?

Do any of the big 3 care what order you take math tests in? Do you have to take College Mathematics and then Algebra, or can you take Algebra first and still get credit for College Mathematics?

I apologize if this has been asked before, I couldn't find it.

I don't think it matters to the schools, but it will to you. In general if you take them from easiest to hardest, you will find a lot of carry over from test to test which will make it easier on you...good luck

The schools do not care, but you definitely should. For example there are certain groupings of exams.

Business Group

Principles of Management CLEP
Principles of Supervision DSST
Organizational Behavior DSST

Psychology Group

Introductory Psychology CLEP
Human Growth & Development CLEP
Introduction to Educational Psychology CLEP

There are also more obvious groupings such as U.S. History I and II. I am sure their are other members that could give more grouping examples. Good Luck!
