CLEP VS DSST exams (which exams cover the same things)

[johncarlo123]

Hey all,

I'm new to the site. Just passed Human Growth and Development, using IC only (passed with a 55, I was hoping for better). I know that exam is the same as DSST's Lifespan Developmental Psychology exam. So I was wondering if there are any other CLEP exams that are the same as DSST's. Right now I'm studying for Intro to Educational Psychology, and I saw DSST has something called Foundations of Education, though the question sets look pretty different. Are there any other exams that are really duplicates of eachother???

Algebra does. You want to avoid duplication, it won't count twice.

It depends on which school you're attending whether or not a test will duplicate. Human Growth and Development and Lifespan Developmental Psychology normally duplicate each other. Intro to Educational Psychology is usually psych credit and Foundations of Education is usually something non-psych. The Natural Sciences CLEP covers biology and chemistry. People have reported considerable overlap between Principles of Management and Principles of Supervision. After taking those, it's probably a good idea to take Human Resources and Organizational Behavior. You should take Intro to Psychology since you're taking Intro to Educational Psychology. Fundamentals of Counseling is another easy exam once you've developed general knowledge in psychology.
