List of "Easy" exams

I know my question will be subjective, however is there a consensus of the easiest exams to pass (dsst or clep). For example, I have read many posts that declare DSST-Intro to Computers easy. As I have already taken this exam, I would agree with fellow advisors this particular exam was indeed very easy. I was wondering if it is possible to list the truly âeasyâ exams.

DSST Personal Finance was pretty easy for me, along with HTYH.

A&I Lit was pretty easy. I just reviewed the REA book for a week and got a 70. My mom also took it, though she spent a little more time in prep. She declared that taking the test was hard, but I'm not so sure it was: she got a 70 too!
College Mathematics was a piece of cake. If you like math, it's worth a go - after all, it's worth six credits.

I've been thinking about this question for some time, as it comes up on the forum pretty often. It's possible to analyze the "how easy" question along 4 dimensions -- 2 about the test taker and 2 about the exam.
Test taker:
The exam:
When I had some time I put together this drawing. It's not scientific, but I think it's pretty illustrative of the two exam related dimensions. I would be interested in what others think of the drawing and the concept. Phillip

Here's the deal, I think you must have some basic knowledge to pass it without studying too hard. I studied HTYH and SUB. Abuse for about a week and passed them both with ease. I heard A&I Lit. was easy so I went in cold-turkey like an dummy and got a 48.
The hardest thing about A&I literature is it takes every single of the 90 minutes and if you have 10 questions with 1 minute left (like me) your screwed. Practice, Practice, Practice. '

I heard A&I Lit. was easy so I went in cold-turkey like an dummy and got a 48. Agreed. I'm with the "familiarity + fair test taker + good study materials = easy" philosophy. On this issue easy is relative. Passed: American Gov, US History 1, US History 2, Computing, Info Systems, Humanities, Sociology, Art, Western Civ I, Western Civ II, Social Sciences and History, Civil War, Business, Vietnam, A&I Lit, Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice, American Lit, English Lit, Astronomy, Supervision, 1 FEMA, Total -79

I would be interested in what others think of the drawing and the concept I think the chart is genius! Really cool! Took me a couple of minutes to figure it out, but once I got it, I had to agree with it. Pretty neat.

I felt it was easy because I am a union steward back home. I have not received my results yet....so we shall see! Today I am taking Here's to your Health! Another last minute opening and I took it...less than three hours to prepare!
