As you're taking the test Friday, you obviously don't have time to purchase any other study aids such as the REA Guide to Intro Psychology - which I found very helpful.
What I can suggest is purchasing the Peterson's CLEP Practice Tests. 3 tests for $19.95 - an excellent way to gauge your readiness for the actual exam, and practice taking timed tests before "the big day".
Here's the link to Peterson's
CLEP Practice Tests
Intro Psych was my first CLEP too - and I was also verrry, verrry nervous!
Good Luck!

Check your local library system, some of them grant you access to the Peterson's website and FREE practice tests (San Diego County Library does).

Yes, Peterson's are great! Just so you know, the formatting of Peterson's is a little different than the format of the actual exam - but is good for assessing your readiness & just review. Sometimes their questions will be a little harder than the actual exam, but in general it's pretty accurate. If you score well on the Peterson's exams you should be fine.
If you have the REA CLEP Practice Test CD in your textbook, that is also fantastic - and the formatting is exactly the same as an actual CLEP. Sometimes the library will have REA textbooks, & those are really great.
Also, if you haven't already, I would definitely check out the Specific Exam Feedback section for Intro to Psychology. There's a LOT of information on there, so I would only focus on the last few pages to make the best use of your time.
We took the exam a while back, though unfortunately I think we forgot to post feedback on this particular one, but others have posted great advice & what things to focus on. I remember the official CLEP textbook was super helpful, & so were the InstantCert flashcards. Definitely remember which psychologists had which views... on the exam they will ask questions like "Whose philosophy of psychology does the following statement most closely align with", etc.
Hope that helps a little!!

I took it last Thurs. Only used Instantcert, went through the flashcards a couple times. I passed with a 65. Don't stress, test was easy.
