Introductory Sociology

This course can be used as a study resource, for professional development, or to earn college credit by passing a CLEP™ exam (multiple-choice examination).  Each college sets its own credit-granting policies for the exam, so check with your college admissions office, test center, or academic adviser before taking the test.  

The Introductory Sociology course is designed to assess a person’s knowledge of the subject typically taught in a one-semester introductory sociology course. The exam emphasizes basic facts and concepts as well as general theoretical approaches used by sociologists.

Introductory Sociology

Sociology can be defined as the general science of society. While some sociologists conduct research that may be applied directly to social policy and welfare, others focus primarily on refining the theoretical understanding of social processes.*

Gain Confidence

Our flashcard system requires you to really learn the answers. If you have learned an answer to a question so you can type it in, then you will be able to choose it from a multiple-choice list. You don’t need to know the answers to the flashcard questions when you start using SpeedyPrep…because our system will teach you the answers! After you type an answer to a question, the correct answer will appear, along with an explanation and sometimes a video. Read the answer and an explanation. You will encounter every question in your subject many times. With repeated study sessions, you will learn the correct answers.

Flexibility

SpeedyPrep courses are completely self-paced. The average student has their subscription for three months. How long it will take you to earn 90% or more on your progress bar will depend on how often you study and how quickly you are able to learn your subject. As you go through your course, you will move more quickly through the material as you learn the answers. Some people hunker down and study hard over a few days or a week to complete their course and take their exams. It really will depend on your goals for completing your SpeedyPrep course and how soon you want to take your CLEP® exam.

The Introductory Sociology exam contains approximately 100 questions to be answered in 90 minutes. Some of these are pretest questions that will not be scored.
