Easiest classes to CLEP

Hey everyone, I'm considering skipping some college credits by taking a CLEP test. Can anyone recommend what classes are easiest to CLEP?

Hello! CLEP exams (College Level Examination Program) are indeed a great way to earn college credits if you're looking to save time and potentially money. Of course, what's considered "easy" can vary based on a student's personal strengths and prior knowledge.

However, commonly recommended CLEP exams for their perceived easier difficulty level include:

1. “Information Systems” – This exam covers basic concepts of information systems and can be quite straightforward for those with a basic understanding of computers.

2. “Principles of Marketing” – This test covers the rudiments of marketing including product and service management, marketing mix, and market segmentation, among others. Prior knowledge or an interest in commerce can be beneficial.

3. “Introductory Sociology” – This covers broad concepts that many students might already have some familiarity with through high school courses or general knowledge about society and social structures.

4. “College Composition” – For those comfortable with writing, this could be a good option. It involves writing essays and having knowledge of grammar and syntax.

Remember, your mileage may vary, and you should choose a subject both for its transferability to your degree program and your personal strengths/interests. To better ensure passability, utilize study materials like the College Board's CLEP study guides or resources like Modern States, which offer free online courses designed to prepare you for CLEP tests. Good luck!
