I'm new to InstantCert forums...first time I've really browsed around, but already it's been really encouraging! Hey, all these people have passed these oodles of CLEPS and DANTES "no problem" (well, at least without TOO much trouble), so why can't I ?
Also, I had a question about Social Sciences. Like other people, I've taken U.S. History I and II, Western Civ I and II, American Government, Sociology and Psychology--now my only question is, need I review the flashcards for each indivdual subject, all 1000+ of them, for the Social Sciences CLEP? If I do, I'll hunker down with right good will ...but it would be nice if I could go through this a little faster.
Any advice about Social Sciences would be welcome!
[SIZE="3"]ok. wow. if you've taken all those, you really should be set to go. I'd review (to ease my worries) and take a practice test or two for social sciences. either petersons, the comex study guide one, and then the Official CLEP study guide if you have that. Just see how it goes. Learn from the tests, figure out what you know and don't know and study/review any weak areas. There is ALOT of history on this test though. So know your stuff. No, you don't need to go through all the IC questions. If it helps you review, great. If you're lacking in one area, sure. The test itself however is not that deep, it's more broad. Lots of material and subjects, but basically the key areas of each one (cept History). I took History II right before, and I've taken History I, Macro/Microeconomics, Sociology and Psychology within the past year. I studied for this one about a week, and then took the test. And I got a 63. So if you recall the info you learned, you should pass without a problem.
Good luck! [/SIZE]
