Well, it depends on what areas you have that remains to be satisfied. There is Intro to Psychology, Intro to Sociology, Algebra, History, Biology (6cr), Humanities, and Freshman College Composition (don't know if this one is sufficient for their written English requirement).

Upper level EC exams: social psychology, Bioethics: philosophical issues, Psychology of Adult & Aging.....all $95 each.

There are other EC exams, but the ones listed are comparable to CLEP pricing. Just my opinion, when taking EC exams, try to select upper level credit exams whenever possible. They will be useful later on if you decide to move on up the educational ladder.

Thank you for replying. I have no other credits except for being an LPN and the 2 CLEP exams I have passed. Just need to know what other one(s) I could take before enrolling that are needed.....

Everything listed above can be taken before enrolling. You would need to make sure it will apply to the areas that need to be fulfilled. If you specifically ask your advisor about the above exams, she will tell you where those credits would be applied and what would be left to do. Before enrollment, you can take whatever you want. Just make sure it's what you need for their ASN degree. After enrollment, you will have to get approval from EC before you can take anything.
