Quick! Help me Decide which CLEP to take...
I just found out that I'm 3 credits short from graduating Aug 15th!
These are the CLEP's I can take: American GOV'T US Hist I US Hist II Macro Economics Micro Economics Marketing Western Civilization II I am HORRIBLE at math (and that is an understatment!) so I prefer not to take CLEP's with math...I think some of the ones above have math...like Marketing? I'm also not so hot with dates (ie History/Gov). Which of these CLEP's is easiest using IC ONLY to study? I'd really appreciate input as I have to decide and take a CLEP ASAP! TIA! I have successfully completed the CLEP's in my sig:

Either the A. Gov. or marketing. Both are doable with minimal study.

You got a 70 on Principles of Management. If you can do that, you can DEFINITELY pass Principles of Marketing. It isn't a math type of exam, and you will not find anything scary on it. I promise! Just study IC until you feel comfortable, and then go and earn yourself those final three credits. Best of luck, Snazzlefrag

I agree - Marketing is the way to go, unless you are a real history/literature buff already. I cringe at the idea of math questions on timed tests. I have a real love/hate relationship with Math - I like it, but I am defintely challenged by it when testing!
Can you calculate a percentage increase/decrease? That is all the math you really need for this exam. I used the resource below to remind me how to do it (I just so could not ask my 13 year old to remind me how to do it!): Algebra maybe, but percentages!! No!! A parent has to keep some dignity! http://media.wiley.com/product_data/...0470007192.pdf I found the InstantCert flashcards worked well for me and the REA book "Intro to Marketing" gave me the big picture I needed in less than 2 hours. The REA tests were good practice for the math questions (altho' they were not nearly as hard or nearly as many on the actual exam!) Out of all the exams I have done, this one took me the least amount of time to study for and was the easiest of any on your list.

Marketing! If you passed Management you can definitely do Marketing. It is very doable.

Thanks everyone for your help! I took the Principles of Marketing test today, using IC ONLY and got a 65!
There were several things on the test that were not covered by IC but I either knew them, they were common sense answers or guessed right, so I was happy with the end result.
