2 Down!

[DHammond]

Wooohooo! 6 semester hours in one day! What an exhilerating feeling... My girlfriend Anna and I have been studying for Educational Psychology off and on around Christmas, and we were finally ready this Wednesday. But, the testing centers just weren't back together after the Christmas break, so when they couldn't take us Wednesday, we decided to try two exams at once. We started studying Fundamentals of Counseling Wednesday afternoon, and this morning we went to tackle both exams...

It really went great. It was a good bit of time to stay focused intently, but we did Edu. Psych in about 1 1/2 hours, and although Fund. of Counseling was a little harder, it only took 45 minutes. We studied for 10-12 hours for Edu. Psych. and 8-10 hours for Fund. of Couns., just trying to learn enough to pass (with IC only). We started with Edu. Psych. and it was pretty much as expected, and IC was more than enough for that exam. It's a straightforward exam that isn't very "deep", so if you know the facts/names/definitions/terms from IC, along with a little educated guessing, you'll pass easily.

Fund. of Counseling was fine too, although it was harder that Edu. Psych, as I thought. The IC material was full of many more names, dates, facts, terms, etc. than Psych, but we managed to get by with just IC.

Scores:
Edu Psych:
David 62 (50 was passing)
Anna 68
Fund. of Couns.
David 52 (45 was passing)
Anna 60

And no comments about who scored (and scores consistently!) higher than the other. :o)

So, I'd recommend both of these exams as easy to average, straightforward, and defintely doable with just IC if you go over the material thoroughly.

Thanks for all the help folks,
David (and Anna)

PS Final count: Anna only has one class left!!! Criminal Justice is scheduled for next week, then she's done!
And, I'm down to 13 tests to take (including one 6 hr).
