Do most people use textbooks to study for clep tests? I want to take the sociology clep test but I'm having a hard time finding resources online.

I actually read the wrong reference and still passed. This exam is incredibly easy. Saylor.org has an intro to sociology open course. You can also check out ITunes U. If you really want to read a textbook, your local library should have some to check out. Not much has changed in sociology so you can use an old book.

PrLoko-isms Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently. Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end. Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example. Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work. Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.

I haven't taken the sociology CLEP, but here is the page on the collegeboard website that lists suggested textbooks you could use. I wouldn't buy them since there are other resources you could use that don't cost money, but if you'd like to have a textbook to study from here's a good list. You could check with your library, like the posts above say, to see if they have them.

I used the REA guide for this test, and it was probably sufficient on its own. However, it would be a good idea to supplement it with the InstantCert flash cards and other resources. I posted my thoughts on this exam and some helpful resources here ---> http://www.degreeforum.net/excelsior-tho...post136710 Additionally, I compiled a list of specific thing to know for this CLEP; PM me if you would be interested in a copy of it.
 Hope that helps out!

Yep, I'll say the same: get the REA, that and CollegePlus!'s "Learning Network" was all I used.

I thought college plus provided you with the study material. Why use the rea book?

No, College Plus doesn't provide the books, but has a list of which ones you will need for each test. For all the CLEPs, they suggest the REA books if they're available for that test.
