How good are Cram101 books, are they worth buying?

[malcs]

I am referring to the Research Methods exam, the book that is associated with that test has a Cram101 book related. So I wondered if I got that instead of the book, if that would be better so how? How long did it take you to study for that exam?

I think it took me three intense days, and I got an A. I found this to be one of the easier of the psyc tests because it is more concrete than the other psyc courses.

The secret to the EC exams is the correct book, IC, the exam specific forum, and the $65 practice exams where they exist. If the $65 tests do not exist for a subject use the 25 questions in the study guide, and pay careful attention to all 100 (right and wrong) answers to the test. The 100 right and wrong answers give you a lot of information.

The Kaplan GRE book is probably better than any cram book for the psyc tests. They have many years refining this, and there is a decent section on research methods. You can probably read the section while in the bookstore in a couple of hours.
