Introductory Sociology

Don't sweat not having the REA Testware CD. REA's CDs are overrated, as they include the exact same tests as the book, just in computer form. Not worth the extra money in my opinion. That you were able to get the guide from the library is great!

Tasman is absolutely right: IC flashcards & feedback make the best place to start. Here's a chunk of the feedback I posted for the exam listing the resources I used:
Quote:
  • InstantCert – this is a great way to dive in, though it lacks a few details
  • REA’s Sociology book – scored a 64% on the first exam and 86% on the second
  • Peterson’s test available for printing (questions/answers) – scored a 74%
  • CLEP Official questions – scored a 76%
  • I looked over the second two online Peterson’s tests (the first one is the same as the printed one I took before) – I just looked through for questions I couldn’t answer
  • A sociology textbook from my library – I skimmed through two or three chapters and looked at some of the charts – handy for statistical questions (“Which is a trend in the US...” etc.)

Hey, that's not a long post at all. Some of us can get pretty detailed about this whole degree-earning thing -- and there's nothing wrong with that!

Good luck with Sociology,
