Don't go too much into this one. I went through all the instant cert questions and did them over 3 days. You can totally tackle this test. It seemed to lean towards the Asian religions pretty heavily on my version. I knew nothing about Taoism, or Confucism, but the questions on IC were all RIGHT ON!
-Know the names of notable Asian religious works
-Know some of the facets of classic Indian Religious Society (EX; Caste System)
-Know enough to be able to contrast the Asian/Indian religions.
-Know about divergences between Juddaism and Christian religions.
-Know about common people who were common to Christianity,Muslim,Juddaism.
Some of the interesting questions I found were comparing "modern" leaders to religious principles, like which of the following people did NOT meet the true pacifist ideals as espoused by Jesus Christ (I'm sure I messed up this question so bear with!) Martin Luther King JR., Ghandi, Asoka?,the Crusaders: and it was phrased so that the answer was clearly all but the latter. I spent most of my time focused on the Asian/Indian religions since I was weak there and that strategy seemed to help me out.
If you have attended ANY church/ synagogue services you should be able to muddle through the Christian and Juddaism sections pretty easily. There were not all that many questions about Muslim religions either, but still know about the life of the Prophet Mohammed. To be honest I have not got my score back on this one but I felt fairly confident with it. I hope my late night ramblings help you out!
