I can tell you the top pass rates, if that helps:

FY16 Civilian
Spanish 91%
College Comp Modular 84%
College Comp 82%
French 82%
Psych 82%
Sociology 79%
German 76%
Marketing 76%
Human Growth & Development 75%
Macroeconomics 74%
Info Systems 72%
College Math 72%

A few notes:
- Spanish is BY FAR the most popular exam - 32,000 people took it vs. 2700 took French and 792 took German (the least popular exam)
- The most popular exams are Spanish (32k), A&I Lit (11k), College Comp (10k), and College Algebra (9k) - 45% of all tests taken were these four.

Here's how to narrow it down:
- I'm guessing most people who take the foreign languages already think they can pass, so those can be taken out of the mix if you aren't fluent in one of these languages
- the 6cr or 9cr courses are going to be a lot more comprehensive than the 3cr courses, since they cover 2 or 3 semesters of work
- if she's not strong in math, you could still try College Math - this is probably the easiest exam to know whether or not you're ready for it (Khan Academy for instance, could probably teach you every concept you needed, and for free)
- A&I Lit is considered one of the easier exams, but it's a LOT of reading - some people think it's draining, others say it was harder than they thought.
- Only take College Comp if you know a school will accept it - and many won't.  Our CC's here won't take either of them.
- Sociology & Human Growth & Dev are considered some of the easier ones as well.  I think HG&D might be the most relatable for most of us.
- If she has an interest in studying for something, then that's a good way to go.  If she thinks Sociology sounds horrible, but US History II sounds awesome, I would go with interest, as that will get you further than something that's considered "easy."
