Hi Rolf,

Welcome to the board.

I tend to agree with ShotoJuku's advice.

I would study for Sociology this week, and Psychology next week. Earn your 6 credits, and move on.

Social Science & History will require you to be familiar with a LOT more material than Soc and Psych individually. You would need to be comfortable with macroeconomics, microeconomics, US history, World history, politics, government, geography, sociology, psychology, and anthropology.

Therefore, I think you might be better taking your foot off the accelerator a little bit; study for Sociology over the next few days, take and pass the exam; then study for Intro to Psychology over the following few days, take and pass it.

You can't expect to absorb a whole semester's worth of knowledge for ANY subject in just one day. Be patient with yourself. Slow and steady.

If, after studying for a few days, you still aren't grasping the information, I would recommend that you postpone your exam for a while. It's not worth taking an exam if you aren't ready and able to pass it. It is better to study for two weeks and pass, than to study for one week and fail. Right?

My friend, ShotoJuku often says, "slow and steady wins the race." I agree with him 100%. Study until you feel adequately prepared, and then take the exam. Give yourself a chance to study for longer than one day before you begin to lose hope, okay? It'll come! Just keep working at it.

Best of luck,
Snazzlefrag
