I am glad it is behind me but if I had it to do over again I would take the smaller and more focused exams. It may take longer and be more expensive, but I feel like it's going to be a long wait (6-7 weeks) before I know how many credits I earned. If I didn't score well enough I may still end up having to grind through the upper level exams anyway.I feel your pain. My biggest problem with the exam is that it was nothing like the practice exams that ETS gives you. I only scored 590 on it. That was good for 12 credits but I already had 12. The exam was a wash for me. However, the prep that I did for it made the ECE Psych exams a lot easier.
Think long and hard (and at least twice ) before signing up if you have had no formal psychology classes.
For what it's worth,

Don't get discouraged yet. I suspect you did better than you think.
Let us know when you hear.
