First CLEP [College Mathematics] UPDATE - agrubner - 04-22-2017
Hi there! A while back, I asked whether I should take Intro Psych or College Mathematics as my first exam. The advice, thoughts, and opinions came in and as a result, I went with College Mathematics.
I began studying on Monday and took the exam on Thursday. Unfortunately, I began with study.com's study guide, which included material that was not included on the exam. Despite this, I passed the exam by catching up on free-clep-prep and the official CLEP workbook, the former being more useful than the latter. I walked away with a 70 out of the 80 point scale! 6 credits in the bag.
To continue updating my progress, I have three remaining exams to take: Introductory Sociology, Introductory Psychology, and Human Growth and Development. I'll be taking them in this order, too. Any thoughts on these three exams, specifically Sociology are very welcome!
Thanks for all your thoughts on my previous post!

I used Saylor and InstantCert to study for sociology. Unlike a lot of their courses, I found Saylor's sociology to be decently put together since it was based on an online textbook rather than randomly jumbled sources (assuming they haven't messed it up in the interim). Unfortunately, the Saylor course itself is only worth one credit, so the CLEP is the way to go.

For the Intro Sociology CLEP, I used InstantCert until I got 90-100% consistently, Scott Muller's Sociology videos, studied a couple of documents found in the Specific Exam feedback section, and took some practice tests: CLEP (scored 69%), Peterson (85%), Saylor SOC101 (62%) and passed w/ a 55. Good luck!
