I just got notice that there is an opening today for a test, I ususally have to wait 1-2 months for an opening. My question, is there any test that I could go take and potentialy pass with little to no prep time? The test is in 3 hrs.
It could be a clep or dante. Many thanks.

This is a difficult question without knowing your background. I'll tell you what I passed without any study.
1) The 6 credit Social Sciences and History CLEP. This test was very broad and generic, so you will have a solid chance at answering every question.
2) CLEP A & I Literature if you take an hour or so to brush up on literary devices. (google search). You either have the ability to interpret literature or you don't. If you do, its an easy 6 credits.
Good luck with whatever you choose.

Update!!!
I passed! Scored a 51! I know it's barely passing but a pass is a pass right? hilarious
Honestly this was rough, my timing was terrible, it was just so hard for me not to re read the passages over and over with each question. Towards the end though I had to seriously pick up the pace. I finished without answering 3 questions and just guessing with 10 seconds left, dunno if that hurt me or helped me.
Anyway, thanks for the tip and this was not an easy test, atleast not for me. I love the 6 credits though, this seriously made my day!

You didn't asked what the easiest test was, you asked what you could pass with little or no study.
Great job!!! Next time you are in Borders, pick up the comprehensive official CLEP test guide (approx. $25) it has practice tests for around 20 or so of the CLEP tests. If you can answer more than 50-60% of the 6 credit Humanities or 6 credit Social Sciences & History questions, then next time you are in this situation you can try those. Better yet, take your time and review Instantcert, then try them.
