If you have a good mastery of the English language and can read a passage of poetry or a play and answer questions about it, then A & I Lit is THE easiest exam to take. A & I also requires a lot of stamina- you will be reading classic literature the whole time, and most people work up until the last minute. It's really the only exam you don't need to study for since it's a comprehension exam. All of the other CLEP exams are subject exams and would require a lot of face-in-book time (for me they did).
Don't underestimate A & I Lit if you feel shaky about what I described, my husband only passed that with a 50 and about suffered a heart attack before it was over! He said about 15 minutes into it he really didn't want to read anything else, and it took every bit of concentration to focus in and even then he did a lot of guessing.
However, I think it's the easiest 6 credits through CLEP.

What is your background and/or previous credits? Do you really need 24 credits in humanities?

A&I Lit would be the easiest. I would recomend taking a couple of practice tests just to get the feel for it; also, read through the specific exam feedback on the this site.

I just need to take extra credits to obtain a raise from my job. I thought it might be easier to stay in the same realm. What do you think the best order i should take them in. Thanks in advance

I think A & I Lit is the best choice for a first test since you don't have to study. All the others require equal study, so my opinion is that you should choose which ever is interesting to you. If any credits will do, you can earn free college credit using FEMA- I think they have over 30 credits possible. Each class is online and takes about an hour +/- and is worth 1 credit.

I checked with my boss and it doesn't look like i can take the FEMA courses to get a pay raise. So i am going to take these courses listed below: I am going to take A&I first and go from there.

A&I lit should be everyones first clep, depending on your background I would say wait for american lit, it requires a great deal of study.
