I don't think it's possible with just CLEP and DANTES, but if you include Excelsior College Examinations (ECE), Thomas Edison College Examination Program (TECEP), then you can almost test out completely. The two remaining obstacles are Business Strategy, which has already been mentioned (15-week Excelsior College course required), and the Managerial Accounting requirement, which currently is not covered by any exam. You can take an Excelsior Managerial Accounting course, or there are many alternative courses that will cover it. I took a Penn Foster College course, and completed it in about a week.
All in all, I took my first CLEP on November 27 of last year, and by the end of January, two months later, had everything done except the Business Strategy course. I completed that course on May 2, and my degree will be conferred on June 20. I have already received offers to apply for Master's degree programs.
I don't recommend my schedule, particularly in some subject areas where I took some risks, but I think it demonstrates that it is possible to earn a degree that quickly, and almost entirely with exams.
