50fingersntoes,

There is no CLEP Ethics exam. It's either DANTES Ethics in America (Lower Level), or Excelsior Ethics: Theory & Practise (Upper Level).

You have nothing to fear from either DANTES or CLEP exams. Some are easier than others, and you'll already know which is which if you have read through this board.

The only significant difference between CLEP and DANTES is that CLEPs are computer-based, timed and scored immediately; DANTES are paper-based, untimed, and scores are sent in the mail (2-4 weeks).

I suggest you take one of the 'easier' CLEP exams just to get your feet wet. That way, you will be experienced before you tackle some of the more difficult ones.

DANTES Ethics in America is very doable. CLEP Sociology is one of the most obvious choices to take first. Instantcert is enough to pass both of these exams.

Study hard, and you will do fine no matter which exams you take!

Good luck,
Snazzlefrag
