Everyone's toughest exam was..

[anar579]

Of all the tests to be worried about, I am really concerned that I may not pass the Humanities CLEP. I have been going over the materials on InstantCert and I probably know LESS about this subject than almost ANY other. I guess that is a function of being Science minded...the art kind of goes out the window. I have the CLEP scheduled for Monday the 1st. Does anyone know if there is any OTHER CLEP I can take to get 3 Humanities credits for Excelsior. I already took Ethics and I still need 3 more. I don't need the 6 this exam offers...I was going to use the extras as elective credits but I seriously think I might not pass. Any suggestions:confused: ?

Have you considered CLEP Analyzing & Interpreting Literature? It offers 6 credits, and almost everyone here agrees it's very passable. All the studying you'll have to do is read a few poems to refresh your memory about interpreting them, and take the sample exam from the College Board to get an idea of what it's like. It's not the most pleasant exam due to all the passages you have to read, and time can be an issue so you shouldn't get stuck on a single question. Also one of the foreign languages if you're fluent (I grabbed 12 credits in Spanish). DANTES also offers a few Humanities exams.

You can find all the exams Excelsior accepts by downloading from the Publications Page the file A Student Guide to Credit by Examination at Excelsior College, The Assessment Catalog. It contains credits granted, minimum passing score, level of credit, and type of credit granted to ECE, CLEP, and DANTES exams.
