How do CLEPs compare in difficulty?

Hey I was a home-schooler too Yeah, I took Humanities and then just today I took A&I Literature. I would say that after studying really hard for Humanities (something I am not good at, nor care to ever encounter again), it prepared me for A&I lit. I never have had a course in A&I, but I did have what I learned Humanities and some other prior knowledge of the subject.

I ask this because when I'm "flying" through my degree and my friends are going the "normal" way. This makes me look like I'm "special needs" or something because I have chosen a different rout.
I just wanted to know what other might think about this or if something similar has happened.

A fair bit of it's perception. Some of my friends who are going the "normal" way look at what I'm doing and think it's harder. They see the self study/self motivation part of CLEP-ing and declare that they "couldn't do that." Motivation is key when it comes to taking CLEPs and DSSTs. But you knew that. It's difficult to get very far when you aren't convinced about doing it.

I looovvved Humanities, but having read hundreds of classical music liner notes inserts, I had something of a predilection in that direction...no rhyme intended. Prior knowledge is a joy. "Oh, I learned some of this in Intro to Business!" Funny are the things that give us joy when we're learning...
