I'm only taking those extra DSSTs because I want to take some more graded exams. See, my actual plan differs from "my proposed ultimate mostly testing out plan" presented in this thread, because I transferred in some credits from my earlier, not ready B&M college experience. They were all Cs and they're killing my GPA. If I don't take those DSSTs I have marked, the best my GPA can be is 3.33. If I take them and get all As on them, I can get a 3.54. I'm not sure if this even matters tremendously, (in fact, I posted a thread about this), but I'd rather take a little bit of extra time and get the better grade at this point, so I'm not kicking myself later if it ends up mattering for an MBA program or something.
Plus, I would have to review Biology, as I took that CLEP a few years ago. If I had been smart, I would have probably knocked out the Biology and the Natural Sciences at the same time. But at this point, I definitely want to take the DSSTs I have mentioned, and I don't really think the Natural Sciences would be any easy than the Analyzing and Interpreting Literature CLEP, and that would be the only thing I'd be willing to substitute it for (I already took HRM).
