AP Crash Course Study Guides

I would also agree that a CLEP is much easier and more accessible than an AP test.

My understanding of the AP test is that YES you can take an AP, however they're typically only available to take in the Spring at a local high school. LOL.. and yes, you would be taking them with a bunch of high school students.

Also, if you do decide to do AP and find a convenient place to test, keep in mind that AP can duplicate some CLEP/DSST credit. I had taken and passed the AP Spanish test back when I was in high school. I would have only gotten three credits for that, so I went ahead and took the Spanish CLEP, which gave me 12 credits. However, the 3 credits from the AP test were not counted as they were considered to be the same as the CLEP.

Some people here have used AP guides for studying on CLEP tests. I don't know how accurate they are, but I would imagine that the AP and CLEP or DSST tests would be somewhat similar for many subjects.

Edit to add: Make sure you're using the Specific Forum Feedback and the IC cards along with whatever other guides and books you use. A textbook is great and I have used them to study for the harder tests, but it may give you a lot more detail than you actually need to pass the psych CLEP, which is generally considered to be one of the simpler tests.
