I haven't been doing good with the Peterson's test which they morally took me down I score 49, 45 and 45 in the 3 tests they provide. I have read the REA book and did some IC questions. Any suggestions?
Okay so for sociology here are my tips, Know the people involved in sociology and any theory or experiment or books they wrote(my test was rather heavy on these), know the terms and how they apply. Pretty simple stuff, I felt my test was on the harder side for this but still managed a 55 on it. I'd review the rea book once or twice more to firm up terms.
On a side note: Don't let anxiety get to you on CLEP test, they are pass/fail and can only help you in the long run. Worst possible scenario you don't pass it. That's okay try again in three months. Also if this is your first CLEP test another tip is they are not intimidating at all. You will get questions you know right away and you **WILL** definitely get questions you haven't covered in studying. When you do don't freak out and think you don't know anything just eliminate whatever answers you can from what you do know and you can usually get it down to a 50/50 shot. The key to a CLEP test is a passing score not Acing it. Most of the CLEP tests I have taken started out with a really hard question or something I didn't study for. Don't worry about it just do the best you can on that question and move to the next one.
Hope this helps and good luck!
