I want to CLEP (at the most) four courses before August of next year. Intro to Sociology, psychology, Algebra and maybe English composition. Is it easier for me to just go and take up these classes or to CLEP them? I've been out of school for a couple of years. I want to try to get rid of some of my requirements for my RN to BSN program before August comes. What do you think?

You must go to UofP.
When I was an AC I would suggest that students CLEP for credits. However, you must be proficient in that area to CLEP the courses. And if you fail the CLEP exam, you have to wait 6 months before you can retake it.
Check with your AC to make sure the test is not a regression or duplicate course. And also make sure you haven't transferred in the maximum credits.
If you are at UoP and need upper division courses, you should try to take an upper division advanced placement exam. Excelsior and DANTES offer the upper division exams.

I wouldn't call it "coping out."
I CLEP'd nearly half of my degree away. I was always smart and bright... If I do say so myself.
and that young lady "Sierra C" which I know is the same... #2 in her class. She just fell into a dark phase in her freshmen year and needs to play catch up.
WE just learn differently. Well I know I do anyway.
Anyway to answer the question. I see nothing wrong with it as long as the schools have nothing against it. *shrug*

Why would your choice be "which is easier"? That is such crap! If you want to learn something--take the class. If you want to cop out and pay some money to take a stupid test, then do the CLEP route.
