Hello everyone!
I'm a newbie to InstantCert but have heard so many great things about it that I have decided to give it a try in completing the remaining credits for my BA in History & Social Science.
I have 12 credits left to complete by June 1 2007 in order to qualify for a full scholarship to obtain my Master's degree. Needless to say, since I don't have that much time (work full time and am taking 3 regular courses now which will be done by March 15) I don't have time to re-take any if I fail.
Here's my list:
Humanities CLEP 6 (or Into to Psych CLEP 3 & Intro to Religion DSST 3)
US Hist 1 CLEP 3
US Hist 2 CLEP 3
I must admit I am a little intimidated by the Humanities CLEP. Not sure if I should try it or if the other two, Psych and Religion, would be easier).
Working on free electives and have satisfied all upper level requirements so I can really take anything. If there are any easier exams I could complete with minimal effort I welcome the input.
Any suggestions?
Mally

Hi Mally,
wow, you are very close to your goal.
One note on timing, you might want to try and stay with CLEP's as you get your result right after the test, with Dantes, you will need to wait 4+ weeks or pay extra for a rush (assuming you take the paper version).
Do you speak a foreign language? This could give you the 12 missing points in just one exam (and the CLEP is not very hard)
Good luck,

If you have the guts, i would suggest taking Spanish CLEP. Even if you dont know Spanish (like me), with the knowledge of sentence structure and common words, i was able to pass it for 12 credits.
But, i guess your experience my differ, so theres my two cents.
