Well, it does depend on the subject. I spent about a month (maybe more) on US History II, my first CLEP, before I took it; however, I only studied a week for American Government.
It does depend, but more than two or three weeks generally shouldn't be necessary except for the more difficult exams (like Biology or Rise & Fall of the Soviet Union). That's assuming that you'll be studying for a few hours every day.
And if you're still in doubt, take practice tests. They are a vital gauge of performance and study resource. Use them for all they're worth!
What test are you thinking of taking first? I recommend doing something that you have a far amount of prior knowledge in - something that you'd enjoy. If you like literature, A&I Lit might be a good starter. (There's no IC for it, but REA puts out a splendid A&I Lit book.)
