Excelsior: Foundations of gerentology.........help - reeree - 07-07-2014
I need to prepare for my Foundations of Gerentology exam. I just passed the Adulthood and Aging test today with a B.
The study guide is suggesting to books Social Gerentology (Hooyman) and Later Life, The Realities of Aging (Cox).
Do I really need both of these books?? Can I please get some feedback on which books were used for studying.
Thanks!! Any and all help is greatly appreciated!!

Learner.org has a good video series for the Foundations of Gerontology exam called Growing Old in a New Age. I watched the videos (the parts of the videos I thought were important) which corresponded to the areas of the content guide. The test was pretty straightforward. If you have a good grasp of the information on the content guide exam you should do fine. The knowledge gained from Adulthood and Aging will also be helpful.

I used the later life book. I also used cliff notes and other study materials. You can also purchase used previous versions of the recommended books.
