Has anyone used Cram 101 to help prep for Uexcel exams - specifically social psychology? Did you find the materials to be helpful?
thanks!

Yes, I signed up for an Instacert account a while back. But I happen to have a social psych Cram 101 book and wanted to know if anyone has had good results with them. Plus, I'm generally curious about them since they always come up in a search for a textbook but I don't see much chatter about them here on the forum.

I personally have not, but the pass rate for IC-only study material on this exam is excellent. I'd be nervous that an unproven resource like the cram book might take your study in the wrong distribution of content or worse yet, not line up with the exam. Maybe someone else can jump in, but I feel like there are a couple exams where people report needing additional study resources other than IC, and this isn't one of them. (plus you're already paying)

I looked at the Crama 101 ebook and it seems to be mostly psychology. I wonder if that's the same for all their books. I also wonder if anyone has found it useful/not useful.
