Sociology was my first clep and I took it based on the "reviews" of the ease of the test. I studied IC and went and took the test.

I am one of those that thought the test was much harder than what others thought. I was completely freaked while taking the exam since I didn't think I knew anything! I ended up passing the test.

However, what I did thereafter was look at the exam content guide for the exams I was taking. I also searched the internet (such as wikipedia) to look up all of the content. I also studied IC. The most helpful thing for me to do was to find the student section of the recommended textbooks and take the practice exams. Everyone learns a different way, but the practice exams were the final way for me to really apply the information.

After doing this, the exams were much more easy to get through and I felt much more confident hitting the score button. Even on the Excelsior exams.
