There is no other way?
Not even coopersmith?

Directly from the NCCRS website:

Social Psychology (PSY-315)

Credit recommendation: 
In the lower division baccalaureate/associate degree category, 3 semester hours in Sociology or Psychology (8/18).

That's right. Basically, what I mentioned in my post #3. I would recommend doing something similar to bluebooger in post #5. You "can" get an A, but it's your effort that determines the grade. Play smarter with your review, study, time management and you'll get there. In regards to taking courses from Coopersmith or UExcels, sometimes mixing them up would give you a greater understanding of both systems. You can take a LL at one and take the UL at the other if you need or wanted...

UPDATE: I took the Coopersmith Abnormal Psychology exam today and it was so easy I felt like it was cheating?? If you’re a psych major, I would even venture most could pass it cold. I watched the crash course video twice on 1.5x speed. I haven’t got my grade back yet but I’d be blown away if I didn’t get an 90+. Thanks for the heads up on this you all!!!

i was just making an off-hand comment about calculus being a pain, i don't actually have experience with Coopersmith calc, but I can't imagine it being a walk in the park. I'm probably going to go with Straighterline, but I haven't figured it out yet.

Curious as to whether or not they allow notes and a graphing calculator for final ? If so it may be worth $150 to roll the dice and see what happens.
