    Hello I am new to this group. I am a psychology student, I am due to graduate in May of this year. I need some help because I need 6 humanities credits to make this happen. I have looked at the Interpretation to Literature this seemed difficult to me. I am not that good with the Romeo Juliet type of things. Does anyone have a suggestion about Dante's or Clep for humanities credits? Any Help would be appreciated.

    You could take a practice test for A&I Lit and see how you do, most people do great on that test, but I'm not going to say that scores of 50- don't happen. Here's a link to free tests: http://www.in.gov/library/inspire/info.html (click on the last logo on the left & sign up)

    Other CLEPs that you could do are the general Humanities, American Lit, English Lit, or a foreign language. Other than the DSST World Religions, I don't know about any humanities DSSTs (but I don't know much of anything about them.)

    I have taken all of the CLEPs mentioned above, and A&I Lit was by far the easiest for me, but I loooove reading. So if you don't like reading in general, I would probably go for general Humanities because Am Lit & Eng Lit require a lot of reading, both in studying and in the test. Humanities covers art, architecture, literature, and music from who-knows-when until contemporary.

    Which sounds best to you?

    ETA: forgot to mention that A&I Lit is not entirely (or even mostly) Shakespeare type stuff. Sure, there is some on there, but if you do really well on all the "plain english" stuff, I bet you could still pass. Oh, and all the CLEPs I mentioned are 6 credits.
