what Clep tests to take first?

Hi! I'm a new member & just starting my educational journey with TESC.
I'm wanting to test out of as many courses as possible for either a general liberal studies BA or psychology BA. What Clep tests are the easiest to tackle first?

I did Analyzing and Interpreting Literature, College Math, Social Sciences and History, French Language.

They were all quite easy in my opinion but it's a matter of your own personal strengths. For the introductory ones I really recommend doing 6 credit exams, it feels good to get that big chunk of credits right away, gets you off to a running start

also, if you doin tesc, don't forget about the FEMA credits, super easy and free

If you speak another language do that first. If you're halfway decent at reading and answering questions about comprehension, do Analyzing & Interpreting lit. If you're comfortable with numbers, the College Math CLEP is an easy one. (ha ha - I'm not good with numbers hence my low score, but I did pass!)

These are all 6 credit tests, so it's a great way to get a solid start. Other than that, as mentioned, pick something you're interested in regardless of how easy or difficult it's supposed to be. I loved the Substance Abuse test and based on working several years in medical software sales and taking a pharmacy tech course, this was relatively easy because I already knew all of the info about prescription drugs and only had to learn about the illicit ones. I also really like politics and really enjoyed studying for American Govt even though that's a "harder" test.

Look through the testing list, read the forums and schedule your test - now.

Edit to add: If you've ever done any sort of professional writing or are just good at writing, check out the technical writing test. I also thought that was relatively simple, but might be a bit tougher if writing isn't your strong point.

Which CLEPS are 6 credit?

Each school has its own policy for the passing score and how many credit hours are awarded. Biology and chemistry usually are awarded from 3 - 8 hours. Language exams may be awarded up to 14 hours.
