Rob,

beckysharp posted this in the forum in March, which she got from Home Testing Out Of College Credt by Examination. I don't know if everyone would agree with their recommendation, but thought I'd bring it to your attention just in case it was helpful to you.

I seem to recall that snazzlefrag once posted something about which exams he recommended grouping together, but I couldn't find it straightaway, due to the fact that he has made some 5,382 posts! <kidding>

Exam Strategies

There is a method to the madness for when to take each exam. I call it exam grouping. With exam grouping you can study for multiple exams at the same time and let similar exams build on the study of the next. For example, there are a number of psychology exams in the degree program. You should group these exams so that the information is still fresh as a number of topics will cross exams.

Here is a psychology exam group:

Psychology Group 1
CLEP Intro to Psychology
CLEP Educational Psychology
CLEP Human Growth and Development

Psychology Group 2
ECE Abnormal Psychology
ECE Research Methods in Psychology

Psychology Group 3
ECE Psychology of Adulthood and Aging
ECE Foundations of Gerontology

All of these exams should be studied for and taken in one stretch because the material blends together and studying for one exam will inevitably help you with another.

Another exam group would be the Social Sciences:

Social Sciences Group 1
CLEP Social Sciences and History
CLEP Intro to Sociology
CLEP American Government

Social Sciences Group 2
CLEP U.S. History I
CLEP U.S. History II

Social Sciences Group 3
DSST Cultural Geography
DSST Anthropology
ECE World Population

Criminal Justice Group
DSST Intro to Law Enforcement
DSST Criminal Justice

Ethics Group
ECE Ethics, Theory and Practice
DSST Ethics in America
