Nervous About First CLEP: Intro to Sociology

[cobrajet]

Thank you for that post!! Some of the sample questions actually showed up on my test and I was able to use that to my advantage. I passed but BARELY by a 53! Now I'll make sure to use other sources besides IC like REA for different subjects.

Thanks for all your posts guys, really appreciate it!

Congrats!

I passed the Intro to Sociology myself today with a lowly 52, and had mixed feelings. I was happy that I passed but surprised at the low score. They must have upgraded the exam because everyone was saying how easy it was, but it was a beast. For a 'so called' level 2 test - this test was as hard as the American Government (level 4) test.

I studied the REA CLEP book and found it was fair, but some of the information in their practice tests was no where to be found in the book - that puzzled me a little. None-the-less it was a fair resource. A far easier study resource was the two DVD's by Standard Deviants "Sociology 1" and "Sociology 2". If you can get them used and in good shape, JUMP ON THEM!

The above resources were very good but the best study resource that I have found was a book entitled "Sociology a down-to-earth approach" by Shelly Dutchin. The title says it all; it is truly easy and "down-to-earth" learning for terms and examples and I would have failed the exam with it. I would get all three study resources listed above.
