As for the Accounting exam, I ended up backing out of it, I thought it would fairly easy for me since I did fine on both economics exams and I've some previous "real world" experience with P&L's. But it was really overwhelming for me.

If you looking to get credits and don't specifically need Accounting for your degree, my recommendation would be to go for one the other "easier" exams. I can't remember - have you already taken Analyzing Lit/Social Science...

Hi Libartsmgr,

I don't specifically need Accounting for a Psych degree. However, I am also trying to include most of the requirements for a business degree as I go along. Since Accounting is changing to a 3-credit CLEP next year, and since I am already studying a "financial" type of course, I thought I might go for the accounting exam to try and optimize my time.

So while I don't NEED to take it, I do WANT to take it at some point...and right after the Principles of Finance seems like a good time to get it over with. I just thought I'd ask for feedback, to see what others think.

If it is worth taking the two exams close together, I can just push back my Civil War exam until after I take Accounting.

But I'm just thinking out loud at this stage.

Also, I already took Analyzing Lit back in November. I am not planning on taking Social Science (I already have a gazillion Social Science credits).
