msd2012 Wrote:Okay, so a few weeks ago on the forum I was asking around and received some advice about the PSY-270 (Psychology of women) TECEP from a few of you, but the Intro to Critical Thinking seemed to be pretty new. Anyone, I have completed both of them so I wanted to give some insight for those who want to take them in the future.

PHI-130: This is, by far, the easiest exam I have ever taken in terms of how much prep is needed to pass. The material is covered in 5 modules in a free resource the university provides. Basically, to pass the exam you need to be able to identify some of the main kinds of arguments and both evaluate and construct an argument. There is 30 multiple choice questions, 10 matching questions and an argument and argument evaluation. 56 of 80 points is needed to pass, so provided you know or argument types and can build/evaluate an argument, its easy to pass. Finished with an 89% with about an hour of study.

PSY-270. This was much harder, IMHO, than a lot of people give it credit for. I prepped using quizlet, memorized basically ever term in the book, about 4 hours of study, but the questions where much more specific to examples of concepts than definitions, etc. It's hard to explain what I mean, but one of the questions was something like, when it comes to teenage boys are they are more likely than teenage girls to have a close relationship with their parents, less likely, etc. The essays weren't so bad, the question were things like: why would older women in this generation feel more comfortable expressing their individuality and talent than in previous generations, what is gender stratification (with examples), why are women more likely to be treated for mental illness than men. The multiple choice was 60 points and essays were 40. End the end I get 44/60 multiple choice and 34/40 on the essays for a grade of 78%. Not too bad, well within passing, but could have been better. Definitely not the test I was expecting.

Then click on the little grade book icon (an A+ on a little notebook), then "User Report" will pop up with the Term and Course number underneath it - click on "User Report" and there you have it. So much more complicated that it needs to be!!
