    tmcmahan,
    I can only give you feedback on CLEP Sociology since I haven't taken Civ, but I would highly recommend Soc for everyone. It's farily straight-forward and you really only need IC to study for it (IC only has about 150 items so that's nice).
    Should be a low-anxiety way to get that last credit! Good luck!!

    Default Intro to Sociology

    Ok this test is EASY. And I MEAN EASY. It is the perfect CLEP test to get your feet wet with. A couple hours of study time and you'll fly right through it. IC is all you need to study with. BEST OF LUCK!

    I would also be interested in anyone's advice for Western Civ II. That is what I'm studying for now and am scheduled to take it 5/24.

    I can't offer advice on Western Civ II..but I just took the Sociology CLEP yesterday. I went through the flash cards once, took a few pages of notes, studied the notes for about an hour or so...then did the flash cards on random and got about a 71%. Then I took the CLEP practice test and got about the same score. I went right down and took the real CLEP and got a 70!!! It was really easy!!!
