Well, Professor, if it's the easiest of that list that you are looking to conquer, I would suggest definitely Intro to Sociology as 1 of them. I don't have any expereince with the history tests so maybe someone else can speak to them.
As for algebra, macroeconomics, etc., those are tougher but it also depends on what your previous experience is with those subjects. If you're a math whiz obviously lean toward more of the mathy (a new made-up word
) subjects.If you do go the Sociology route, then Psychology and Human Growth and Development would also be good ways to go since they are complementary tests.
Good luck to you,
Kelly

Awesome, I think I will go with the sociology route and one of the others you mentioned. Any idea what would be considered adequate study time for these tests?
Thanks for your help.

Depends on your background, Professor. A test that I mind find easy, others will find hard and vice verse. Psych and Sociology make a good pairing. I was able to do those in a couple of hours but I have good retention of prior courses in the subject. I suggest running through the IC to see where your strengths are and then using the free practice tests on the College Board web site to gauge your readiness. Good Luck!
