Intro To Psych Heads Up!
#1
I just finished this test today. The only resource I used was IC but basically had it memorized. I ended up passing, but for anyone planning on sitting this one I would recommend going beyond IC. It only covered about 35% of what was on the test. The rest of it I just made the best guess and somehow I got lucky and passed. I had no idea what the answers were on a lot of questions. A good amount of questions were related to stuff on IC but were not covered.

There were a lot of questions on the makeup of the eye. Also know the anatomy of the brain really well as there were a few questions on that not covered by IC. Other than that the questions were pretty spread around, there were a few questions on language that I didn't recognize. I wish I could recall more but that is all that is coming to mind right now.

I read on an earlier post that someone had the same experience with sociology. I am wondering if maybe clep has changed it's tests around, it almost seemed like it intentionally avoided the material on IC. IC is definitely a great resource for this test but not sufficient by itself.

Has anyone had this problem with human growth and development recently?
Or any dantes tests?

[COLOR="Navy"]As good as IC is, and it is incredible, it is always prudent to use no less than 1-3 other study sources; see my list below.

Better safe (and pass) than sorry (and fail). Wink [/COLOR]

During the past two weeks I completed and passed both the intro to psych and the intro to sociology exams. While preparing, I used IC (of course) as well as REA and pass your class. I also reviewed text books for both subjects. As Mr. Fey noted in this post, it's always a good idea to use multiple resources.

I was reading the FAQ's on the "pass your class" website, and one of the questions asked "how much is it to take a clep?" the answer was $55.00. I thought EC's website said something like 225.00? :confused: Or is that some kind of administrative fee from them?

ECE (Excelsior exams) are $235.

CLEPS are $70 + fees at colleges and testing centers (Fees vary, mine are $15 per test).
