Hello,
I wanted to know if anyone has taken the exam for introduction to sociology. Also did you only use study materials from IC only and how hard was the test.
Thanks!!!

It's good to get a variety of opinions and figure out what seems best for you. The best way to do this is to use search. Many people have taken this exam.

I just signed up for instacert recently and I just took this one as my first exam last week. I read the REA book twice and took the tests in the back of the book then made notes on the questions I missed. I used the flashcards on this website until I knew them pretty well. Then took the Peterson's tests making notes on the ones I missed as well. I went for the exam a couple days later and scored a 61, was pretty much the same as my three test scores on the Peterson's exam. I did it in about 10 days or so. I didn't know what to expect it being my first test and being out of school for so long, but it sure did feel amazing walking out of there with my first 3 credits. There where a lot of questions that where not covered on any of the studying materials I used above, but it worked out!
Good Luck

Ditto Bo0giemonsta!
My experience was the same. I also studied IC, REA and Peterson's and Specific Feedback. Don't expect a high score (I got 62), you think you've done well and up pops 62, bummer, but 3 credits is 3 credits. Yippee for me and you too!!!

Nope, I read 2 very short books in one week and nailed the test. I discovered InstantCert late in the game.
Do you mind sharing which particular books you read? I'm taking the test next month.
