sociology & psych similar? - pitbull30 - 05-30-2007

I noticed some of the material in these overlap on IC such as general terms, names etc.. I am scheduled to take sociology next week. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to try and take psych too maybe the following week if I am good with the IC material. How much material on the psych exam is similar to socology or am I underestimating psychology?

Thanks

pitbull,

I cannot answer that question personally, since I haven't taken either one. But I did find a post made by crna2b on 08/07/06 that might help, even though he took these in the opposite order than you're doing (I only copied the part that related to sociology/psychology):

Quote:The Psych exam was my first CLEP. After that I went on to take Sociology, which was suprisingly just a glorified extension of the Psych exam. I used instantcert (obviously) and REA books with the CDs. I like the ones with the CDs cuz they score the tests for you.

The bottom line here is that I suggest studying Psychology really well, and that will give you a great base knowledge for your Sociology and Human Growth Exams.

[SIZE="2"]Sociology skills and related concepts are the gateway to psychology. There is significant overlap as you progress from Soc - Psych - Ed Psych - HG&D.[/SIZE]

I agree. I just ended up taking Psych and Soc on the same day, studied for both the same week, concurrently. There's so much overlap you'll get bored.

I am scheduled for sociology and took psychology already, I didn't study yet since I was told that some does overlap, but nothing to rely on.
I want to know which college will accept all these cle\ps which are so similar

First i gotta tackle psych next. Is there any big difference between ED Psych & HG&D?

Is one harder than the other? or is one more similar to SOC & Psych?

Thanks
