[SIZE="2"][COLOR="Navy"]Hello Dawrhino - Welcome to the IC-Forums-Classroom!!
You have already started by logging on here today but let me inquire as to what you degree goals are and what school you are enrolled in or considering?
As for exams and such, the first one can be a little intimidating but once you get the hang of it you will find yourself proceeding at warp speed. Might I suggest the CLEP - Introduction to Sociology as a starter as it's a relatively light subject and IC has a great selection of flashcards. See my other resources below too!

welcome dawrhino! =]
don't worry, starting can seem pretty intimidating but soon enough you'll feel better. you should try studying for one subject first to test the waters so to speak. that way you can take your first exam and get used to the format and so forth. like shotojuku said earlier, sociology is a great exam to start with. if you're a business major, principles of management is also another exam you can start with. i started with management first and then moved on to sociology. IC works very well with both exams and neither are too difficult to absorb.
good luck! =]

When i started i picked one test and bought the REA book, and got a subscription to instantcert. Once i had all of my materials in order, i booked my test date for three weeks in the future. I then felt the pressure of the date approaching, which made me focus on studying.
