Im new to this forum and I plan on using Instantcert to help me to pass some Cleps. The school that I currently attend, Tulane University, only accepts five cleps and their list is rather limited. Out of these five I plan on Clepping Intro to Psychology, Intro to Marketing and Business Law. From the following list below which two Cleps are the easiest. Thank you and I am so happy that I found this forum.
CHEM 107 General Chemistry
MATH 121 Calculus
SOCI 201 Foundations of Sociology
CPST 120 Intro to Information Systems
CSHM 201 Humanities
CSNA 201 Natural Sciences

Out of those three I've taken business law and marketing. Marketing was probably a bit easier. You could reason your way through many of the questions. The REA book was very good for marketing. Good luck

Make sure these are accepted for the courses you have listed, but those would be the easiest from your list, unless you're really knowledgable on arts, literature, music then you could try the Humanities, it's worth 6 credits.

Sociology and Humanities....

Sociology is a piece of cake (but you still should study for it)

SOCI 201 Foundations of Sociology
CPST 120 Intro to Information Systems
These are the easiest out of the six in my opinion. Good Luck

I agree with the consensus that Sociology and Information Systems are the easiest from that list. But if Natural Sciences and Humanities can get you six credits each, and if they fill slots in your degree plan, then they are worth the effort. At least try the sample exams in the Official Guide and get an idea whether they're within passing range. Humanities is broad but not deep, and if you love the classics, you may have all the knowledge you need. Natural Sciences is basically high school level Biology, Chemistry and Physics, with a slight emphasis on Biology. It's not a giveaway, but it's definitely passable. I haven't taken Calculus or Chemistry, and I wouldn't try without at least some sort of refresher course. But there are low-cost (even free) courses available on the Internet, and again, those CLEPs may be worth more credit than Soc or Inf Sys, and they might fit your degree plan better.
