Brain Surgeon or Accountant?
As I began my journey through the jungle of Distance Learning (they speak in code out there!) I began to research the CLEP exams. Which one should I begin with? Which ones would apply to my degree? I certainly did not want to take 8 exams and realize that I was now a brain surgeon or an accountant! So, I began my research!
What did I find?
There are many, many CLEP exams offered (33 to be exact) and I didn’t know where to start. As I continued reading and researching I discovered a wonderful piece of information. Out of ALL the CLEP exams, there were 5 exams that everyone should take. The Five General Exams.
The Five General Exams
- English Composition (with our without the essay)
- Humanities
- College Mathematics
- Natural Sciences
- Social Studies
No matter what degree you are pursuing, you should take these 5 general CLEP exams. Begin there!
