Sociology ! HELP ME !

Hey guys! I'm in a sticky situation! I think I failed Finance this semester, so I am taking the Sociology CLEP so that I can still graduate in May even if I fail Finance. I'm just now starting to study, and my test is next Thursday. I've heard this test is fairly easy, but I still think it's gonna be pretty tough to learn 50% of a class in a week. Any advice you can give me on what to study would be great. Also, how hard is it? Is studying the flashcards enough?

I just took this CLEP yesterday afternoon and received a 64.
I studied IC - went through all the question sets 3 times. I took all 3 tests on Petersen's. That's it. I will say that when I first started taking it, I thought I was going to fail because some of those questions where nothing about what I studied or at least they didn't seem to be! Read the specific section on that test in IC too.

This should help and also check out the Specific Exam Feedback Section you can do it.

You can almost definitely learn enough to pass the Sociology CLEP with just a week of study. I studied for 1 day and got a 77. I did it the same week I did Biology (and gave Biology the lion's share of the 'study time') - when I realized I'd only given myself a bit less than a day for Soc, I almost canceled my appt., but instead just cranked the coffee maker, stayed up late and learned the REA Sociology book cover to cover. If you can pick up a copy of the REA guide and learn it (it's one of the thinner REA's, BTW) you'll pass with flying colors.

+1 for the REA book. It took me one or two days to read through it one time and I was good to go. Good luck.

I just took this exam and scored a 64 on it, with one week of studying. I only used IC for it. If I can do it anyone can.
