I only need 9 more credits to get my degree, so I'm going for the CLEPs. I'm going to do Introduction to Sociology, US History I and II. I feel pretty good about Sociology as I've had some psychology courses. I am petrified over the thought of US History! I haven't cracked the cover on a history book in 20 years. I sure hope all those shows on Discovery channel will help! I purchased the REA books for each class. I'm doing Sociology first and am using a combination of REA reading and IC flash cards. It seems like it's going pretty well so far. Will this same strategy fly for US History?

For U.S.History, I would recommend the "biography of america" series at
Teacher Resources by Annenberg Media If you can find the teaching company lecture series on history of the united states, I found those very informative as well. For sociology, I used Wikipedia, IC and thats all. Good luck!

Be sure and do all the practice tests in the REA books. Do the test, read the answers, then take the test again a day or so later for review.
