Social Psychology Excelsior. Any advice. ANY advice.

[TheHappyLady]

Trust me, I tried finding advice somewhere else on the forum. Is Social Psychology like the least taken test ever? Seems like it to me.

This is my first Excelsior and I'm just looking for some feedback of any kind. I'm a psychology major and have already taken several psych courses, so I'm expecting a lot of overlap. However, being unfamiliar with the ECE format (I'm a CLEP and DSST girl), I'd appreciate some advice on how to go about studying for this test. I have the recommended textbook and of course InstantCert. What else was helpful? Any major recurring topics? For those who have taken CLEPs and/or DSSTs, how do they compares with ECEs?

Thanks in advance!

I'm taking it in three weeks. In addition to the things you mentioned, I'm listening to lectures from itunes university.

You can also take the practice ECE test for only $25.

I took it a few months ago. I used the recommended text, InstantCert, and the pre-tests. The test was clearly written from the book. InstantCert was helpful after I burned out on the book. The pre-tests were very similar to the test. If you can nail the pre-test questions then you will do fine. I did better on the test than the pre-tests. They highlighted a few weaknesses. Got an "A" in the end.
