Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.

I vaguely remember someone in that region. There was also the UK student who traveled to the US.

There is also a CLEP version o the exam, Information Systems & Computer Applications. Anoither easy exam (many take cold) that is basically reading comprehension is CLEP Analyzing and Interpreting Literature (IC flashcards). Heck College Mathemalics is also pretty easy, you could possiblly knock out three or four of these easier exams in one day. Anothr bonues, Analyzing Literature and College Math are 6cr exams.
There have been other forum members who have had to travel a great distance to test and take multiple exams in one day.
Good luck to you!!
Edit to add: Valedecem, Check your PM.
DSST Technical Writing & Introduction to Business (if you have experience) also require limited to no study.
Thank you soon much! I didn't realize my testing center offers DSST so I will have to look at those and figure out what I can prep for in a day. Intro to Computing sounds promising, as does Analyzing and Interpreting Literature. I got a 740 on the SAT II Literature subject test and an 800 on the verbal/reading SAT. Is the difficulty level comparable to those? If so, I may go that route. Time to get prepping!

Take a look at the CLEP Guide, there is a practice test for Analyzing & Interpreting Literature. I have a feeling you won't need any study for that exam.

With those scores on the SAT Analyzing and interpreting literature should be a cake walk. If you can use it Intro to Psychology might also be easier with Intro to Sociology.

If you have the option, I'd second the suggestion for analysing and interpreting literature. It's a reading comprehension exam, doesn't require specific authors or works- read the literature passage, answer (interpret and analyze) what the author intended. You can, for good measure, google a list of literature terms- they'll ask a few like alliteration, foreshadow, prose, etc.

I used 75% as the cut-off as to whether I felt ready.

Also, someday maybe a MS in Forensic Psychology, just for fun. Oh, and a BS in Animal Behavior. And, maybe when I'm 85 a PhD in something fun.
