Do any of the big 3 care what order you take math tests in? Do you have to take College Mathematics and then Algebra, or can you take Algebra first and still get credit for College Mathematics?

I apologize if this has been asked before, I couldn't find it.

I don't think it matters to the schools, but it will to you. In general if you take them from easiest to hardest, you will find a lot of carry over from test to test which will make it easier on you...good luck

There are also more obvious groupings such as U.S. History I and II. I am sure their are other members that could give more grouping examples. Good Luck!

so is human growth and development generally better to take after Intro to Psych? or take the Educational Psych after intro to Psych?

I'd say in this order:
1. Human growth dvp
2. Intro psych
3. educational psych
