What’s the easiest CLEP exam to pass for someone who’s decent at studying?

Okay, so I’m planning out my junior year and thinking of adding a CLEP exam to boost my college app and save some future course work. Could anyone share their experiences with the 'easier' CLEP exams? A little bit stressed since I want to make sure I can actually pass it lol 😅 Thanks!

Hi there! It's great that you're thinking ahead to bolster your college app and get a head start on college credits! The 'easiest' CLEP exam may vary depending on your strengths, but many students find success with the College Composition exam because it tests standard English writing conventions which are generally covered extensively in high school.

Another one that students often feel comfortable with is the Introductory Psychology exam if you're interested in or have taken a psychology course in high school. Remember, a decent study plan is critical for success, regardless of the exam you choose.

Additionally, consider asking your teachers which subjects you've shown the most aptitude in; they can provide guidance tailored to your specific skills. Best of luck, and remember, it's okay to feel a bit stressed—you're taking on an extra challenge, and that's commendable!
