CLEP rankings depend entirely on you.
1. How much experience do you have in the topic?
2. Do you enjoy the topic enough to study and learn the material?
3. Are you a good test-taker?
4. What specific courses do you need to take/pass?
For me if I am not confident in something I can't retain the material and I will test very poorly (math). If I enjoy the topic (anything history or art related) I'll absorb the information like a sponge and the test is a formality.
First and foremost, use modernstates.org for your CLEPs. They provide at the very minimum a base-line of things to pass the exams. They also give you a voucher for the exam ($87). The savings is amazing. I use a local test center that charges me $20 for DSST/CLEP, so I get 3 credits for $20.
Dig into TESU/COSC/EC as previous posters have suggested. I was dead-set on UNM's BA in EMS until I found this forum. I got a degree easier, cheaper, and 4x faster. I was even able to bring in a credit for my open water SCUBA diving course for PE.
