Questions B4 Taking my 1st Exam!

[kbordeaux]

I have read through as many Human Growth & Development posts as I can find to prepare for my exam but the posts are so old that I am not sure if the information is reliable. Can someone tell me how often the CLEP exams are revised? Does anyone have any updated information about the HG&D CLEP exam?

I MUST pass my CLEP exam as there was miscommunication from my academic advisor and I must complete my degree program by July 2009 or risk having to re-enroll and take more classes because the degree program has been changed since I completed it! Grrrrr....there is NO room for retaking in 6 mos.

The university won't even grant me an extension citing "Policy" even though I have just gone through 3 hospitalizations and 2 major surgeries since February of this year!!!!

Any assistance or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am a new member here and am just now reviewing the IC flash cards and have reviewed the REA HG&D book and 3 exams.

They are "revised" on a regular basis but do not deviate from the standard material used and needed to pass.

Hi and welcome to the forum!

I took the HG&D CLEP back in January. It is definitely a very doable clep. I used IC and REA together, and found it was very good preperation for the actual exam. The REA practice tests were good for guaging which areas I needed to brush up on. Also, the specific exam section was VERY VERY VERY instrumental in my pass. Seriously, A LOT of the stuff that is mentioned there was on the actual test and I wouldn't have known to study it if not for that.

I wish you all the luck in the world! Let us know how it goes!

I am happy to report that I passed my Human Growth & Development exam today (69)!!

I am not happy to report that I found the test to be harder than I expected. After taking my final Peterson Practice Test last evening and scoring a whopping 78 I thought I was going to scream through this test; however, it was filled with questions that I felt ill-prepared for.

Thankfully, the bottom line is all that mattered...and when it was all said and done I walked outta there on cloud 10!! (I know it is supposed to be cloud 9 but I floated a little higher!!)

First of all, YAY!!!! You did it!!! And with an impressive score, too!

Second of all, just wanted to say that for some reason that is beyond my comprehension, I always feel like I am completely failing a CLEP as I take it. No idea why, cuz I haven't scored under a 63. And lots of other people feel the same way, too. Weird.
Whatever the case is, though, I guess we should all just tell ourselves that no matter how it feels, theres no need to panic till you click to see your scores!!!
