Hey guys....I looked back through other posts and I couldn't find the answer to my question so I thought I would ask y'all.
I am studying for Introductory Psychology (taking the test this Thursday) I find that I have some free time that afternoon and I was contemplating taking Educational Psychology and Human Growth and Development as well.
I took the official CLEP tests for both...got a 50 on Educational Psy, a 66 on HG&D. This is without studying at all.
So the question: Is there enough overlap on these tests that I could run through the IC cards and take all three on the same day?

Yes to a degree but it is always prudent to prepare and review. You could end up passing or failing by just a point or two without study; just a bit risky to gamble.....

You can take all 3, but I'd suggest you study the other flash cards too.

Why the rush? If it's that important go for it - if not take a week or two to study.

No rush (except for the wanting to be done part

) It just seemed that there was a lot of overlap and I thought since I was already driving to the testing site I might as well knock out a couple. Anyway, there wasn't a slot open at the testing site so I have some more time to study.
Thanks for all the advice.
