A good academic advisor will know you, hopefully know your strengths and weaknesses from discussing your academic plans. As others have shared, take a look at the exams of subjects you either already know or like to learn about. It won't be as much of a hardship to study for those.
If you are interested in the sociology exam (or any of the others), I would suggest taking the CLEP practice test for this exam and see how you do without any preparation. It will give you a good idea of how much you already know, plus help direct any future studying. You can either pay the $10 for the study guide through your CLEP account (includes the practice test), or you can do a little google search to see if any of your local public libraries has any edition of the CLEP Official Study Guide book (or you can purchase your own book, new or used).
