I have 23 units left to graduate. I will be taking 12 units this semester and would like to see if I can speed up my graduation by taking a CLEP exam. The only CLEP exam that I have taken is the Spanish CLEP. I have heard that the Principles of Management CLEP exam is one of the easiest exams to take. What are your opinions? Are there any other CLEP exams that you would recommend? Thank you.

Prin of Mngmt CLEP was pretty easy and Prin of Supervision DSST overlap each other.

It's easy. You can learn just about everything on wikipedia.

I took principles of management clep last week, and passed with a 67. I went through all the instacert flashcards until I could get most of them right. Some topics I used wikipedia to go a little more in depth on. Check out this thread
http://www.degreeforum.net/general-educa...ement.html. I would second everything luv said. I used the petersons practice tests and got a 71/83/76, the questions were fairly similar. I have taken 3 cleps so far and I find that downloading the collegeboard practice questions helpful in getting to know how the questions are going to be asked. Overall Instacert is definitely enough to pass this exam. A lot of the questions you can figure out using common sense and a little knowledge.
Another easy one is the information systems and computer applications exam. I took it today and passed with a 69. I have a little computer/programming background from high school, and all i did was review a couple sections on instacert for an hour or so and passed.
