Oh wait- I do understand your question- (I went back and read my post, it was poorly written late last night). What I wanted to say, is that if you end up deciding to enroll in the 6 credit requirement each semester to get financial aid, that you will want to choose those 6 credits from classes that are not available through testing.

So- if you want full financial aid- you'll need 6 credits per term x 4 terms = 8 courses. Pick everything that you will need from the 300, or 400 levels since you can't CLEP those. Does that make sense? It seems harder than it is.

Speaking for myself, I took every available social science until I ran out of 100/200 level options. My requirement was full- but still needed more credit- so I took classes. It would have been an error on my part to enroll in the class Psych 101 my first semester (even though most people would) because I would waste one of my 8 classes on something I could CLEP. I ended up enrolling in advanced classes while I studied for the intro level CLEPs LOL. You want to maximize your efficiency.
Hope that's clear as mud
