Introductory Sociology

[P00057870]

I take a little more time but others (who may not be working fulltime) have crammed this in a few days. You need to assess your personal obligations and how much time you can invest. Most material will be retained if studied a little each day over a period of time.

Read the REA book and take the tests. As another member posted, the CDs are not worth the additional money, especially if you can get the book from your local library for free. I copy the IC cards to a Word document, print and carry with me and read a minimum of 3 or 4 times, depending on the subject matter. I make up another Word document from the IC forum Exam Specific Feedback, listing the items others have said need additional study and search on the Internet and Widipedia for that material. Again, I can read it through a few times and carry it with me, if needed. (Lately, I'm not printing out -- just reading off my computer, as I get more comfortable with this method).

Then I check out to see if there are any free Peterson's tests available for the test I've planned. If so, they generally have 3 tests you can take over 90 days.

For me this amount of work cannot be done in that short a period of time, while working full time and other obligations involved. Three to 4 weeks is more normal for me but then again I am older and I have to work harder to get my memory to engage

If you are a new IC member, make sure to check out the Exam Specific Forum for your subject(s). Once you have signed in and clicked on discussions, there is another sign on area to the right. Once you have signed on, you will see at the bottom a new (4th) forum and there it is. Click on that and look around.
