First off, let me just say that Iâve lurked for the last 9 months or so but have never posted. The participants on this forum have inspired and motivated me to take and pass a handful of CLEP tests. A big thanks to all who contribute and share knowledge to help others like me.
With that out of the way, hereâs the situation: I need to take the Social Sciences and History CLEP and the Educational Psychology CLEP ASAP. I called my local testing center today and to my surprise, I was able to get an open testing slot on Wednesday, August 26st (thereâs usually about a 2-3 week wait). Soooo, I now have part of this weekend and the first part of next week to prepare for one of these tests.
It can be done, right? Which test would you take if you were in my situation and rescheduling was not an option? I work full-time and have a family, so study time is limited. I will have about 4 hours to study this weekend and maybe 3 hours on Monday and 3 hours on Tuesday.
I really want to get the SSH CLEP out of the way but don't know if I can pull it off giving the lack of study time.
I havenât studied or taken a CLEP test in over five months but hereâs a list of the tests that I have taken this year:
CLEP - Analyzing and Interpreting Literature
CLEP - Sociology
CLEP - Psychology
CLEP - Human Growth and Development
Advice? Comments? Study Tips/Resources?
Educational Psychology without a doubt. There will be some nice overlap with three of the four tests you've already taken which will reduce the need for study--and although I did not take the Social Sciences and History CLEP--I have to believe that test is A LOT broader than Ed. Psychology. Educational Psychology. Final answer.
