My favourite was the Humanities CLEP both to study for and take. Having heard of it as such a monster and being in the position of really needing humanities credits, it was the first test that I wasn't sure I could manage. As a result, spent a lot of time with IC and all the supplementary sources of study. On test day it was really satisfying to pick out little bits and pieces. Getting a 70 was a massive thrill, I must admit Smile

Least favourite at this moment in time is the Psychology GRE. It was an unexpected start which became a rushed effort and absolutely consumed all my available thinking time. The books, the mindmaps, creating and rehearsing meaningful mneumonics, practice tests, mp3 podcasts and flashcards on the ipod filled every spare moment. It's difficult to get involved with the material without becoming attached to it. The test itself was tough and to think that I may have spent two and a half months busting for not many credits when other things could have been done is frustrating Smile

Haha: same experience. Studied like crazy for over a month, took the test, got the same score as you, realized the same thing. Still, I'll take the good score.

My favorite exam, however, would probably be the Literature in English GRE. A bear of an exam, but so rewarding.

Though I put myself in a position to where I didn't study anywhere near what I should have for it and did poorly on it (compared to what I could have done), the test that most captured my attention was the GRE subject Psych test. Even through I did craptasmically on it, it really cemented the fact that I want to be involved in the field of Psychology, and helped me push myself harder.

In the same vein, I really enjoyed the Abnormal Psych ECE as well (even though I was woefully under prepared for that, but was able to use my accumulated knowledge and deductive reasoning abilities to come out with an A.)

The tests that I really disliked were the College Math CLEP, the Research Methods ECE (While I love the field of Psych, I hate the statistics involved, and the fact that I got a B on it dropped me from Summa Cum Laude to Magna Cum Laude, but hey... Tongue ), and the UExcel College Writing - But that was certainly better than having to sit through English 101 over 4 months...
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Wile E. Coyote, genius. I am not selling anything nor am I working my way through college, so let's get down to basics: you are a rabbit and I am going to eat you for supper. Now don't try to get away, I am more muscular, more cunning, faster and larger than you are, and I am a genius, while you could hardly pass the entrance examinations to kindergarten, so I'll give you the customary two minutes to say your prayers.

Bachelor of Science in PsychoRabbitology degree
Master of Education with a specialty in Rabbit-specific destructive munitions (or eLearning & Technology, I forget which)
Doctor of Philosophy in Wile E. Leadership with an area of specialty in Acme Mind Expansion - 2017 Hopefully
