The Principles of Microeconomics exam covers economic principles applying to individual consumers and businesses. The Social Sciences and History exam covers a wide range of topics from the social sciences and history disciplines.
This exam covers American literature from precolonial times to the present. The Analyzing and Interpreting Literature exam includes questions on passages taken from American and British literature. The College Composition exam covers material usually taught in a one-semester college course in composition and features essays graded by the College Board.

The first one of each is earlier in history and the II tests cover more recent history. On the College Board website, Science and Mathematics are grouped together into one category.
My students almost always do better on the practice exam for College Algebra than on College Mathematics. The difference in pass rates could be because of more people attempting College Algebra without a lot of study. Despite the difference in pass rates, I believe College Algebra is easier for most people.
Free-clep-prep ranks College Algebra as easier than College Mathematics and I agree even though the pass rates suggest otherwise. College Algebra is pretty specific to… well, algebra.
