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.
I took Abnormal Psych, Drugs, Society and Human Behavior, Family Therapy, Stress Management, Therapeutic Interviewing, and Rabbinical Counseling from Coopersmith, and I could not agree more with this post. My experience was virtually identical, with the possible exception that ProctorFU insisted on charging me the higher "Take it Now" premium when the "Take it Soon" premium was called for.
