I want to test out of Psych 101 requirement for my Psychology area of study.

Which would you say is easier, UExcel Psych 101 or the CLEP Intro to Psych? I have read elsewhere that both are accepted by TESC.

Thanks.

I took the Psych CLEP last week and scored a 69 after a couple of days prep with these resources: "Is Anyone Really Normal - Perspectives On Abnormal Psychology" and "The Life of the Mind - An Introduction to Psychology", from the teaching company and Psychology: An Introduction, 12/e

I don't know what UExcel exams are like but the clep's not bad.

Update: I took the ECE in Psych 101. It went well. I got a B with minimal studying.

I know ECEs are MUCH harder than DSST or CLEPs but they are easier for me because I live in a very rural area and to take a CLEP/DSST exam I have to do it by special arrangement 3 hours (one way) from here. However, there is an ECE testing center 45 minutes away. Go figure.
