Social Science and History question

[hoagland]

Hi,

I am currently studying for the Social Science and History clep and was wondering if studying the IC Flashcards for sociology/anthropology/etc would be worth the time and effort to study for this test.? Also, I don't have any economics testing history, so should I study the IC cards for macro/micro? What should I focus on? Any feedback would be appreciated! Thanks!

I took this test today and there was very little economics on my version. What ever was there I took a best guess for like - if there was a drought what would happen to the price of wheat ? go up, go down....? Sort of things you just know in everyday life.

The majority of the test was history, I had previously taken US history II and there were quite a few of those questions, WWI. WWII, New Deal, Teddy, FDR etc.

The test was hard , I felt lost most of the time and the subject is so large, but in the end it is very forgiving I got a 64. I would go through the history questions, sociology and psych, take some practice tests and just go for it. Good luck

I would look over the Sociology cards at least once. This familiarizes you with some of the Sociology concepts - and some of the Psychology ones in the process (as there's some basic Psych in Sociology).

Other than that, take lots of practice tests. They have a lot of the info you'll need to pass. Prior knowledge will also come to your aid greatly on this exam.
