Since it was not my first psych course Stress was not hard material for me to learn.  If you do this course with plans to transfer to tesu, be ready to email the registrar's office to have them put the correct course on your eval.  There was an older numbering course with 310.  Here..  it's explained in this post.

several of us went through that this year.  TESU was great about making the correction right away and it wasn't a long process for that. Just a weird little extra step to know a heads up on.

Psy 302 Abnormal Psy
Psy 310 Foundations of Stress Management
Psy 315 Social Psychology

I was going to take Psy Personality 310 on SDC, but don't like the written assignment.  Looking for the path of least resistance. 

Thanks!

All of the courses were very well documented and well presented. I was able to skim the provided materials and really dig into learning the crash course PowerPoint. Proctoring is taken through ProctorU which was okay, not monitored by a live person but sometimes had technical issues with connecting to the service/proctor etc. Once I went through the customer service chats it was straightforward with going through the exam. I liked that you could literally study the crash course, sign into ProctorU take the exam now option, email the Coopersmith team (who is very responsive) and then submit transcripts through parchment if you were pressed for time. I really liked the Coopersmith format for UL options.

As others have said before, level of difficulty is going to be based on multiple factors but if you have taken an intro psych course before or are familiar with some of the concepts in practice its would be even more difficult to fail, the material sets you up for success. If you are able to study well and then apply that information to the exam then Coopersmith will be relatively easy.

So that was my bad on how I wrote it.  A family member helped me study from those slides and she called them flashcards so much that I unintentionally did as well.

I gauged readiness when I knew the material on the "end of course review slides" well enough that even my family member who was helping me knew the questions and answers with me.
