    Default CLEP sociology

    I am planning on taking the Sociology CLEP exam in a couple weeks. I am wondering if anyone knows of any resources to help with the statistical questions. For example: All of the following statements are true regarding the relationship between age and poverty in the United States, EXCEPT…… Thanx!

    Hi Misslynz,

    Most of the trends mentioned on the exam are either common sense, or covered in Instantcert. If you have studied instantcert well, you will find this exam to be VERY straightforward.

    Also, this exam is pass/fail. So if you guess on a few of the harder questions, it won't be the end of the world. In other words, don't panic over the trend ("statistics") type of questions.

    If you still want to delve into it a bit further, you may want to do a web search for "Social Trends". This should pull up plenty of information for you to look at. But PLEASE don't fear this type of question....certainly don't fear this exam.

    You are obviously a conscientious student. Know the Instantcert material well and you will ACE this exam.

    Best of luck,
    Snazzlefrag

    Snazzlefrag is right...This exam is CAKE so don't overstudy. Use Instantcert and you will do great. I took the CLEP once I was getting about 70% of the questions right on Instantcert and the same percent on the college board sample test. I ended up with a 70 and that was with only about 4 hours of study time. Good Luck!
