I am 9 credits away from my degree and taking my last test tomorrow, the ECE Research Methods in Psychology. My final class is starting on April 1st and then I will be done! I am just so nervous about the test tomorrow. I've been studying and haven't failed any of the tests I've taken before, but I've never taken a ECE. Any words of wisdom from someone who has taken one in comparison to DSST or CLEP? Is the difficulty level about the same? Any differences in the way the test is administered? This will be my first time at this particular testing center as well. TIA!

I took ECE World Conflicts Since 1900 - The testing center was very professional and the test had more questions than the usual Clep or DSST. Maybe 130-150? questions. No pretest was available, but I would have taken one had it been just to get a feel for how the questions were constructed. I definitely followed their recommendations on what to study. I walked away with an "a" and 3 Upper-Level credits. I was nervous going in, but I was prepared. If you're prepared, you have nothing to worry about. Good luck.

Thanks everyone! There actually is a practice exam but it's $75. I decided not to purchase it and hope for the best. My test is this evening, so I plan on studying throughout the day and taking a bunch of quizzes I found online. I'll keep you posted on the results!
