Hi everyone.
Just starting study for CLEP. I have a few questions.
How long did it take for you to be ready for the exam?
Have you any links to good resources to help study?
Thanks.

Can someone provide a link to the Peterson's exams?
Also, I found the REA intro psych book in Google, but it's from 2005. Is this current enough for this test?
Thanks much.

People used to access Peterson's exams through a site funded by taxpayers in the state of Indiana. Now you have to live in Indiana.
There is a site for people in the U.S. military to access Peterson's exams. If you're not in the military, it's not for you.

I used mostly IC to prepare for this test. I also did use a introductory textbook called Homeschool Psych by Dr. Tim Rice, which was a nice overview and groundwork before hitting the flashcards. I went over the IC flashcards until I knew them really well. When I took the Official CLEP study guide practice test, however, I only got 64%. But I went ahead and took the test anyway because I had already spent a couple of weeks studying. I got a 72! Praise the Lord! The actual test seemed a little easier than the practice test.

I posted my thoughts on this test and a few resources here --->
http://www.degreeforum.net/excelsior-tho...post136710 I would highly recommend "The Psych Files" (linked in the post I just mentioned). Try taking a practice test to gauge your readiness level - the Official CLEP Study Guide has a great one in it! You might also find the REA guide useful - I know that it helped me out a lot, but it was still short enough to read quickly. Good luck on your CLEP!
