Just Passed Intro to Educational Psych

[acs1122]

This one was not so easy for me. I had that sinking feeling throughout the entire exam that it could go either way, but I passed with a score of 56. Out of the 100 questions, I had to mark around 20 questions for review if time permitted, and thankfully most of them were helped with questions that came up later on the exam .

Know:
types of memory (sensory, short-term, episodic, procedural)
statistical terms (mean, mode, median, z-score, stanine score)
theories (motivational, behaviorial, hierarchy of needs)
Jean Piaget, I had a lot of questions about how his work compared to others

I studied the IC flashcards for 10 hours, and on exam day I studied Peterson's practice exam (print version), and the CLEP Official Study Guide for 2 hours right before the exam. All in all, not bad for a total of 12 hours of study time, but if I had to do it over again, I'd study more.

Anne,

Congrates on the pass, I also struggled with this one and I studied a lot longer than 12 hours! It is a difficult exam, but well worth it. I learned a lot. Jay
