Need advice on CLEP please

[rrt_thats_me]

Ok so I have to take 3.00 hours of humanities, Life Span, and Sociology. I have already decided to CLEP Human Growth and Dev for Life Span. Can I CLEP Sociology? What about the Humanities credits? What did most of you guys do? Take it thru excelsior?

Also if you did CLEP how did you prepare? What study materials did you use?

Thanks so much and sorry for all the questions. I just feel so lost about all this!

i just took the clep for general psychology and human growth and development recently. you do need to study more than one source. i used just the rea clep study guide for the general psych. one and i passed but i scored much higher on the hg & d clep because i used multiple study aids.

i used the rea clep study guide, instantcert, wikipedia, and peterson's. for instantcert i joined for the month to be able to have more practice tests. i read on the free forum link below after doing a search for the test that this was a hard test and people thought that the instantcert flashcards made the difference. i did not take the time to fill in the flashcards. i would just say the answer to myself after i read the question then click on the answer. it would then give me the right answer along with an explanation. after i did this over and over the info. really sticks with you. i advise using the forum link for instantcert below if you want to clep out of anything. they give you great pointers for each test. i also included a free link to peterson's clep tests that someone mentioned on the forum.

one of my friends just clepped humanities to graduate, she said it was wierd, like a lot of art and music and stuff, but pretty easy still. Your library might have a study guide, I'd check there. If not, the collegeboard.com website has like $10 downloadable guides, I've used them for a couple of other CLEPS and they helped. Good luck!
