Dsst Ethics in America has got to be the most boring subject ever! Maybe I'm just too Machiavellian...
What was the most difficult exam--due to lack of interest--you've had to study for?

"You are your own worst enemy. You waste precious time dreaming of the future instead of engaging in the present. Since nothing seems urgent to you, you are only half involved in what you do. The only way to change is through action and outside pressure. Put yourself in situations where you have too much at stake to waste time or resources - if you cannot afford to lose, you wonât. Cut your ties to the past; enter unknown territory where you must depend on your wits and energy to see you through. Place yourself on âdeath ground,â where your back is against the wall and you have to fight like hell to get out alive." -The 33 Strategies of War[/SIZE][/SIZE]

I actually enjoyed studying for ethics. I used Philosophy 101 from SparkNotes and the Pass Your Class Guide. Math was my most difficult exam to study for. Failed it 2x's. :p

I would have to say Thanatology (TECEP) and Cultural Diversity (ECE) were the hardest to study for. I didn't agree with or enjoy the topics at all. I am so glad to have those two behind me.

I found US History II extremely monotonous and boring... US History I was interesting because I find that time period fascinating (the revolution specifically), and the material was pretty diverse (different type questions, various subjects, etc.), whereas History II was... eh, lame. It was ALL about social groups and movements and blah blah. Not nearly as fun as History I, in my opinion. I failed both, so I still have to return to them.

I find that I'm really dragging my feet while studying for the Sociology and Psychology CLEPS. First time I've had this problem but I'm trying to push through it.

But who'd have thunk it - me being such a Battlestar Gallactica fan and all??? The Dantes Astronomy test just wasn't fun to study for at all. But at least I passed it and now have that "pesky" science requirement out of the way.

I'm currently studying for biology and am bored. It is all I can do to read about ten pages at one sitting and then review and test. Nothing seems to be going in and I'm really nervous about this one. This is really shocking me since I have had so much natural science in the past, but guess the years have caught up with me or else I'm just plain tired of this subject.

Natural Sciences was the worst for me as far as boring goes. It was torture to read about different colored seaweed and memorize "important" elements.
Right now I'm studying for Financial Accounting which is downright hard (for me). It's relatively interesting, just not easy.
