CLEP / DANTES tests offer the best method known to man for accelerating your education. It worked for me: I took 33 CLEP / DANTES tests and passed 30 of them, which gave me over 90 semester hours. I spent only a year and a half in the classroom to complete the requirements for my Bachelors Degree (awarded by the University of the State of New York, now known as Excelsior College).
When I applied to the University of Illinois, they would not accept my CLEP exams, though Southern Illinois University would. It was a difference between being a Freshman and a Junior.

REPLY: For each test, there is a study guide listing several reference materials. Most of them will be available at (or through) your local library. You don't need them all, just one or two.
