It looks like the book I linked to in my original post was the REA one. I think I'll give that one a shot. Thanks everyone for suggestions/advice.

Also, thanks to everyone for their suggestions/advice. Keep it coming - I can use all of the help I can get!
Sounds like you are well on your way to a pass. I would take a glance at the questions that gave you trouble and concentrate your studies on the areas they cover - while not neglecting the other areas, naturally.

It would be pretty cool if you could finish your degree with CLEPs & DSSTs. There are lots of us here all too willing to advise. Big Grin

Ugh - got the REA book and took the 1st practice exam. Got 61/120 right for a score of 51. That would be a pass, but just barely. The Sociology stuff in particular was tough. Time to hit the book - good thing I have 3 weeks or so until the exam.

the main thing with sociology is knowing who thought of what (i.e. marx conflict theory) and which theory applies to certain situations. That's how I got sociology down pretty good.

Yeah, Sociology & Psychology (particularly sociology) have a ton of situation analysis questions.

Passed test today with a 63. I was very worried before finishing test and confirming - the actual test was very different from the material in the REA book, the Peterson's practice exams, and everything else I used for reference.....but a pass is a pass and I made it!
