    I'll give my two cents on the math:

    college math
    college algebra

    uuuhhh.... I know the "statistics" is a DANTE -- what kind of test is the "principles of statistics"?

    Principles of Statistics is also a DANTES. Are DANTES known to be easier than CLEPS? If so, I'll go for it instead of the statistics, which is a CLEP. Either case, I'll use a whole lot of prayer when I get to math, any math.

    I still need 20 LL credits (6 in nat sci/math area), and 12 UL credits, so I'm trying to find the easiest yet "safest" path to a fast completion.

    With the math I would definitely take College Math before College Algebra. The stuff you learn in College Math will help you with the algebra.

    Thanks!

    Just my 2 cents:

    History Group:
    Civil War
    Soviet
    World Pop
    None of these are related in any way so the order does not matter. Be sure to read the Specific Exam Feedback Section on each of these as there has been a lot of feedback.

    Psych Group:
    In this order

    Human Growth and Dev.
    Intro to Ed. Psy
    Research Methods in Psy
    Social Psy

    These are not too related either so I would go with their relative easiness order. The IC cards are good study guides.

    Math Group:
    In this order:

    Principles of Statistics
    Statistics
    College Math
    College Algebra

    Be sure to read the Specific Exam Feedback Section on each of these as there has been a lot of feedback. Supplemental study will probably be necessary, according to those that have passed them. I passed Stats and College Math and definitely needed more than just IC.

    Hope this is what you were looking for. Lee

    I think DANTEs are easier. I'd definately do the DANTE statistics test.
