Worried About Clep Sociology

[Skitahoe]

I have been studying the CLEP Sociology (Into Sociology) book and SpeedyPrep for a week and a half.

I have just started studying the Instant Cert flashcards, which are quite a mouthful.

I was told last Monday that my degree plan at the very last minute added THREE hours. I am graduating Dec. 19th.

I am very worried about the CLEP Sociology test. I've read the Specific Exam Feedback, but I am still extremely worried.

Any other advice anyone could provide, please?

Is Speedy Prep a good resource? I am studying that one before I study Instant Cert.

Any advice please post or PM me.

Thank you.

You should be allright with your resources. It is a really simple test. I studied for a month, and I should not have taking that long. It was my first clep, and I did not know.

I would HIGHLY recommend that you take the free Peterson practice tests!! They are a great study tool and these tests are very close to the real exam. If you do well on the Peterson's you will do well on the Clep. Go here. Scroll down where it says free practice tests and follow the directions where to get them. This has helped me more than anything with the Clep exams. They are free so you have nothing to lose! Hope this helps!

Go here for my links: http://www.degreeforum.net/general-educa...ion-3.html

You don't need to read every word of those Wikipedia pages. Just know the major points. Use the search feature. People have posted a lot about the exam.

It is one of the easiest CLEP exams there is. The REA study guide for sociology is very good. Also use the Peterson's free practice tests mentioned in the previous post.

Do you need three hours of anything? Many of us have passed Analyzing and Interpreting Literature with no preparation.

Thanks everyone for the advice.

I take the CLEP test on Monday.

I am listening to Shannon Little's lectures from iTunes on Southwest Tennessee Community College. I hope this will help.

Are there any tricky one sentence type of questions on the test? You know the teeny tiny little details that are so small that always appear to be on the test...

Thanks!

Very typical multiple choice test. So read carefully. Usually the site will provide a scrap piece of paper. Make a note of what you are not sure of and go back and review those. I don't go back and review those that I respond to automatically - as they are usually correct, but those that I really don't know, I will pick what I think is the best answer and make a note of the question number and then review those if I have time.

Your first one of these, it is somewhat normal to feel the way you do. Just study as much as you can - especially the IC cards, and then give it your best.

Then let us know how you did.

by the way, if you take this test, the psyc and human growth and dev test they have an aweful lot in common.

Thanks everyone for great advice. I take it Monday.

Is there any material content that you recommend I don't spend a lot of time on?

I am going to take the Peterson tests tomorrow.

The test engine has a feature to allow you to mark questions for later review. Click to mark the question. After the last question, go back to review all marked questions. Use the technology built into the test engine to keep track of what you're unsure of. Marking questions is faster than writing question numbers down on paper.

So true but this old dog still likes paper and pencil - old habits die hard :hurray:
