It was incredibly broad but did not have a lot of depth. Knowing some of the stats is half the battle. Native Americans have the shortest life expectancy, 85+ is the fastest growing segment of the population, 115-120 is max life span for humans - determined by genetics and is species-specific, only 5% of seniors actually live in a retirement home, most live at home in single-family house,women outlive men, African Americans outlive most everyone else if they reach 75... I didn't have any questions on gay or lesbian relationships, only one question on Erikson, Kubler-Ross, and Levinson each... that's all I can remember for now.
Only 2 more exams to go!!! 
Woohoo! Well done libartsmgr and congratulations on another A.
Your feedback is very helpful. I will definitely make use of it when the time comes for me to take this exam.
Please let us know if you remember anything else that may be of use.
Congrats again,

I'm currently studying it and I found a video series on the subject that's available to view for free. It's also a resouce listed on EC's recommended list. I thought I'd share the link with you, it may be helpful to some.

Thanks!
Thanks for the link! Were these online videos all you used to study? And how long did you study for? Great job for the "A".
