What are the CLEPs/DSSTs that require the least studying?

[Ruddigore]

I'm trying to take an simple DSST/CLEP exam. I've taken freshman comp/english comp/ analyzing lit/ us history 2 CLEPs and here's to your health/personal finance DSSTs. I need one that is relatively simple in its questioning. Straight forward. No tricks. One that requires the least material to learn. Any suggestions?

Sounds like you are describing Sociology. Sure, it's not as "untricky" as math, but I found it asked questions that related understandably to the study materials. There aren't that many IC cards compared to other subjects either. Here's what I used:

• InstantCert – this is a great way to dive in, though it lacks a few details
  
• REA’s Sociology book – scored a 64% on the first exam and 86% on the second
  
• Peterson’s test available for printing (questions/answers) – scored a 74%
  
• CLEP Official questions – scored a 76%
  
• I looked over the second two online Peterson’s tests (the first one is the same as the printed one I took before) – I just looked through for questions I couldn’t answer
  
• A sociology textbook from my library – I skimmed through two or three chapters and looked at some of the charts – handy for statistical questions (“Which is a trend in the US...” etc.)
  

It's not something that you can study one night and take -- let alone take cold, but with some intense studying, you could get a great score on in two weeks (that's how long I spent on it, and I got my best score yet).

Mind you, this isn't a free ticket to 3 credits, but with some hard work, it comes rather close.
