I just found this board and have read quite a few posts, but I was hoping I could get some advice.

I will be graduating this May, but I have a few pesky hours I would like to test-out of instead of pushing my classes into the summer.

I need 6 hours of science... I'm open to DSST or CLEP. At my college, the DSST Health and Environment tests are counted as electives so they are not an option. At first I thought I would just take the CLEP Natural Sciences and get the 6 hours my college grants for this test, but after reading this board, it sounds like the NS test is pretty hard. I'm looking for EASY at this point. Can anyone tell me the easiest route to 6 hours in the sciences?

I also need a 3 hours elective. Doesn't matter what subject, etc. I've heard the CLEP Analyzing Lit is pretty easy. I'm a strong English student... is taking this test pretty sound advice?

Lastly, I need to take the DSST Public Speaking test. This is not optional... I have to take this one. Can anyone tell me what it's like? Also, what's the best way to prepare?

Thanks in advance for your help!!
