I finally was able to take my first clep exam, intro to Sociology!!! I needed a 50 to pass and got a 51!!!!!! Can you believe it!!!! I thought it was very hard! I didn't feel like I knew even half of the answers! I was pretty convinced as I was taking it that I wasn't going to pass because there were maybe only a handfull of questions that dealt with anything I went over on IC and on the Peterson practice tests!!!! So now I'm really glad I ordered the Office Clep Study Guide 2009!!!! Thank you to everyone who gave me advice and study material, without all the valuable feedback I wouldn't of been able to pull it off. Now on to intro to psych! I hope the second one is easeir!!!!!

What are you taking? Definitly keep in mind that there are different versions of the test so be sure to study IC AND some other study materials.

YEAH!!!!! I knew you could do it!!
Hard, but doable. You'll get the hang of it, especially after you get a few more under your belt
There is an "art and science" of how to study in my opinion. It gets easier. What's next!?!?

Congratulations, the first one is always the hardest. I found some of the info from Psychology and Sociology overlapped so don't forget what you have learned. When do you take the next one?
