Really nervous about this exam! Have been studying IC flashcards like crazy, looking over Sparknotes- Psych 101, and plan on taking Peterson's practice exams this evening Will this be enough to pass the Intro to Psych exam?
Have read alot about it on this forum and in specific exam forum and feel like between the three mentioned above I have enough info available to pass but then a couple of posts have mentioned this may not be enough. Any thoughts from anyone who has taken this exam recently?
Starting to lose my confidence!

I passed this exam earlier today. If you really know and understand the InstantCert material you should do fine. I used InstantCert, REA, and Peterson's. I felt the Peterson's tests were harder than the actual exam. I scored 69, 73, and 78 on Peterson's for a reference point.

Jeff,
Congrats and thank you. Not using REA due to cost factor (hope I'm not sorry) But your scores with IC and Peterson's make me feel better!

I felt it was one of the easier test. I only studied on IC Peterson's (Scored in the 60's and the official CLEP book. If you get in the high 50's or better on the Peterson's you should be fine.

You will be FINE! This was my first test.... don't worry, you'll be so relieved when it's done and you PASSED. Just relax, sleep good, and don't drink too much liquid before you go in to the test room, I had a grande from starbucks and I had to pee the whole time
