Hi all. I know that y'all don't hear much from me but there hasn't been much feedback on this exam and so I thought I would give back a little.
I sat for this today, studied for about a week and pulled a "C", which is what I was expecting.
This is a terminology exam. Google a glossary of Social Psych terms and study them! Know them inside and out. I was pretty familiar with the terms but if you have them down cold, you will do better than a "C". (the term cognitive turns up a lot!)
Take "Research Methods" first. If you have taken that, you'll get several "gimme" questions that you will know from that exam. (manipulate the independent or dependent variable?)
Read the Social Psych section of the Kaplan GRE Psych book. (It is pretty short, you could read it in the book store or better yet, get it from the library.) It will familiarize you with the various names in Social Psych and who did what experiment and what the results were.
And of course, use instantcert.
Good luck everyone, and thanks for all the feedback that everyone has given over the past year on exams they have taken. (You know who you/they are!!)
