Advice on which CLEP's to take
I have the option of CLEPing Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, and Business Law. Of these three, I only need to test out of two. The third I must take online as a class in order to meet my residency requirement and graduate in July. I have heard that Business Law is the easiest out of the three, but that Macro and Micro also compliment each other very well. It doesn't really matter which I test out of, and which I take the online course for.
I just need to CLEP two, and take the other one as an online course. Any advice on what I should do? Any help would be most appreciated. Old Rusty Pipe

Just a suggestion.
You might check into the cost for the books for classes online. That might help make up your mind. I know that when I was first looking at taking classes and a B&M school. The same book was used from Micro as was used for Macro $285. Business Law was $135. Just something to think about.

Something Else To Consider.......
First, I did not take Business Law so I cannot comment on it, however....I did take and pass both Macro & Micro. Here's what I used: Cliff's Quick Review - Economics (Used for under $2.00 on amazon) and the Standard Deviant Videos - Macro & Micro Economics ($33.00 on Standard Deviants). Good Luck!!

I'm currently working on Macro and Micro. There's so much overlap. I'll probably take them both the same day.
Good luck!

Thanks for all the input everyone. I've decided that I'm going to go ahead and take Business Law as the class, and CLEP out of Macro & Microeconomics.
Reasons: 1) Good amount of overlap between the two that I believe will be easier to prepare for over Business Law. 2) There are Peterson practice tests on both Macro and Micro, but not one on Business Law. I really hate shooting in the dark with these things. 3) Probably the biggest reason: InstantCert has 451 questions on Business Law. After working through all those Accounting questions, less is better. Again thanks for all the help.

I plan on taking Micro and Macro together next quarter. I am studying Business Law right now and am going to test it and College Mathematics at the same time in a couple of weeks.
Business Law seems pretty easy. Just my opinion Paul
