Looking for advice...
I am new here...
I have completed 105 hours of college credit through my hometown university (Marshall). I am ten upper division credits away but still need 13 lower division (doesn't matter which course). I have to actually take the 10 upper division hourse as testing is not accepted but I am wondering, knowing my circumstances, what CLEP exams would you recommend for the remaining 13 hours. I am considering Information Systems and Computers to start as I have worked since 1993 on the business end of newspapers and use computers daily (I actually run my own website www.herdnation.com). Any thoughts? Your help is appreciated.

As an update, it appears these are the CLEP exams still available to me:
Accounting American Government General Biology Calculus Info. Systems and Computer Applications Principles of Mgmt. Psychology Trigonometry College Mathematics Humanitis Natural Science Social Sciences and History Thoughts on the "easiest" to pass? I would like to get at least one in before Jan. 5th.

Herd,
IMO, Easiest Principles of Management - 3 Credits American Government - 3 Credits Easy Social Science and History - 6 Credits Humanities - 6 Credits Slightly harder Accounting Natural Sciences - 6 Credits They are all fairly easy tests if you prepare properly. Whenever possible, use more than one source for your study materials. I used Instacert, REA study guides and Comex Study guides. I was able to test out of 55 credits in 15 weeks by taking at least one and sometimes two CLEPS or DSST tests per week.

Consider the following SIX CREDIT exams that link together.
General Biology - 6 Credits + Natural Science - 6 Credits = 12 Credits Humanities - 6 Credits + Social Sciences and History - 6 Credits = 12 Credits College Mathematics - 6 Credits

Out of the exams you listed, I would say that Mgmt, Psychology and Info Systems are the easiest (in that order).
After that, Humanities is very do-able. I would not say American Govt is on the "easiest" level. It's also very do-able, but generally people complain about the way the test is worded; it can be tricky. For American Govt, I would supplement with Petersons or do a little reading on Wikipedia....
