Which courses for Social Science and Humanities Credit? Easiest Ones? - abilak - 10-24-2006
Just took and passed the Intro to Sociology exam, 63/80.
So, I need 4 more credits in Social Science.
I am taking the Analyzing and Interpreting American Literature exam soon, and I will need 4 more Humanities credits.
I am currently attending AIUOnline.
So, from this list, which are the 2 EASIEST CLEP/DANTE exam's to take?
I need one for Humanities Credit (HUM), and one for Social Science credit (SOC). Thanks in advance!
*** I know alot of you may say the History exams are EASY... please keep in mind that I am really bad in History and would only be relying on the Instacert material.

I would probably choose DANTES Ethics In America (HUM), and CLEP Intro to Psychology (SOC).
Hope that helps,

I concur with Snazz, these would be the "easiest" of the lists judging by the large percentage of passes. Do a search on this forum for the titles to get a feel for the exam and other people's experiences. Good Luck! Lee

I found Psych to be pretty easy - there's a lot of overlap with sociology.
Also, they will accept English classes as Humanities, so you might consider one of the easier ones as well. I had 6 hours in English Comp, but Excelsior doesn't accept that for their written English, so I'm taking the Graduate Research and Writing (counts as upper level, written english and the info research all in one, plus is graduate level), so they'll accept my CLEP as a humanities. You just can't double-up on a freshman level english, so check with your councelor first. Just a thought and good luck!
