Sociology Clep

Sorry to hear that. I was able to find a good video series on psychology that really helped me get a general idea of the subject. The IC flashcards cover specific facts while CLEP exams are pretty generalized and will ask you to make inferences or do an analysis. I made educated guesses throughout the whole U.S. History CLEP. The IC flashcards helped a little on that one, but the Annenberg series on American history probably helped more. For me, the statistics were easy to guess at because I'm always watching the news or reading articles that bring up some new study on a regular basis. I think I had also taken Social Psychology as a course before I took Intro to Sociology, but it shouldn't have been expected that psychology would be on the test. There weren't that many sources I could find for the test, but I did find a study guide in the Specific Feedback forum that had definitions and small biographies on important contributors to the field. When people make study guides like that, it's the only time I find the Specific Feedback forum useful. I think I only found two study guides like that.

The IC flashcards are still my favorite study source, however, especially for DSSTs which have much clearer and more precise questions and answer choices.

My test was mostly terms, but it’s good to get into and understand the subject more before attempting the test, so the applications part isn’t too hard. REA is a very good place to start. Take lots of practice tests too—Petersons are generally harder than the real thing, but their explanations to the questions are terrific for learning.
