Educational Psych ...

[Aysu]

Passed with a 71! This was a tricky exam. Having a background in psych, child, and education classes definitely helped. I would take other exams first. Lots of applied questions and "Which is of these is least right"

Spend extra time on:
Piaget
Vgotsky
TONS on behavioral and memory
Reinforcement
Teaching strategies

Also some minor questions on: wait time (normal versus what it should be), mean/medium/mode, extinction, Individuals with Disabilities, advanced organizers, proximal zones, Kohlberg, intelligences, Maslow, Statistics (z-scores, standard, U-curve)

I was surprised to have two questions on James E. Marcia's identity statuses (I specifically got having to identify from an ex. foreclosure and identity diffusion)

Good luck to anyone taking it next!
