 Helpful June 14, 2008
J. Plante (Rhode Island, USA)
The Sociology Clep study guide is typical of the other guides I have used (Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, Principles of Marketing, Principles of Management), meaning: If you have even a passing familiarity with the subject the guide will give you enough information to pass the test. There were questions on the actual exam that the book did not cover, but an educated guess would be 85%-90% of the test questions were mentioned in the study guide.
The guide itself was an easy read. At a scant 80 pages I would suggest reading it twice, taking notes along the way. The sample tests in the back of the book provide a lot of information that the 80 pages of text do not. When grading your self tests do not just check the answers (A-B-C-D-E) but read the explanations for the answers - they hold a wealth of information.
great book for clep; not enough info May 20, 2008
C. Cramasta (Gainesville, FL)
OK the book is great as far as about 1/2 of the questions on the test. I took it a week ago and passed just using this book with a 62. The whole time I was taking the test I thought I was going to fail for sure, because the test has a ton of questions not even covered in this book.
I suggest buying this book, studying the questions and answers, and going to college board or another college website and taking their practice tests too. By the way....INDIA is the country closest associated with the caste system :-)

I am using CLEP exams as a way in which I can get closer to the 150 hour requirement in order to sit for the CPA exam. As of today (when I took and passed the exam), I am about two weeks away from graduating college with my bachelors.
I had no previous experience in Sociology, although the course seems to be an overlap of economics, history, and pyschology (which I also Clepped) and I have had courses in these subjects before. With that said, I did not use anything else to study for the exam and I passed easily with a 66. Since the score shows up on your transcript as a "P" grade, the score really doesn't mean anything as long as it is over 50.
The book accomplished the goal of getting me 3 credits on my transcipt for the low price of $120 ($20 for book, $65 to CLEP, $35 to my college). How can you beat $40 a credit??
CLEP for Sociology January 12, 2008
prd (NH)
Just took this test and scored a 69. The book reviews a lot, but not everything I found in the exam today. I didn't use any other material,except for occasionally looking up some of the sociologists on the web. It helps to get a sense of what theories are related to what person.
I used some keywords to remember concepts from each person that the book spoke about, like "Cooley=Looking Glass Theory" and "Max Weber= Versensten" or however that is spelled. Those 2 German words that start with "G" Gemienstien and Gesellstien (spelling is wrong but if you read it you'll know what I mean). I just remembered the 'Ge-mein' one is rural and the Ge-sell is urban- that helped me get an answer correct about those.
It helps to know the basic concepts of some of the theories, because the questions can really sound different on the actual CLEP test, but if you remember the concept, you'll be ok. I wasn't sure how I had done, I finished it in about 65 minutes- but looks like I got the equivalent of an A. I'd recommend it.
Excellent study guide for sociology September 7, 2007
Andrew (Swansea, SC)
This book is very good for the CLEP sociology. It is concise, has practice tests, and the rationales for all the answers. I recommend it very highly for anyone who has to take this course.
