If you're not currently in the US and don't already have one, good luck. They're kind of expensive and/or take a long time to arrive. Supposedly, you can use the Purdue OWL site, but I'm not trusting ProctorU about this.
Similar for Technical Writing: This is supposed to be very easy to pass with little/no study. Someone reported that they only studied for, like, 4 hours before the exam and they passed. No handbook allowed, but you can have a dictionary.
Intro to Sociology: I think you can probably prepare by doing the ModernStates course. It should be a pretty standard/easy exam.
Marriage and the Family: You probably do need to at least skim the rest of the textbook. I wouldn't bother spending money on the newest edition. Get a secondhand copy of the previous edition or buy the eTextbook on Amazon.
Managerial Communications: No idea. This one hasn't really been talked about. A few threads over the years, with this one being the most "helpful" one I can find: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...ation-Help I would probably study the book as thoroughly as possible because it's supposedly "not an easy test".
Intro to Critical Reasoning: This is a 100(0)-level course that has, historically, been reported to be extremely easy to pass. You probably don't need a textbook at all for this one. There is a free Critical Reasoning course listed in the test description; it should be sufficient. https://sites.google.com/courses.tesu.ed...00-te/home 5 modules; you can probably study everything in a day or two.
Very useful, thanks!
I'll see what I can do about the English Comps handbook situation. If it's absolutely necessary to use one, I'll ask ProctorU about the Purdue OWL site and see what other options I have.
