Educational Psychology

[auminer49r]

Hey everyone,

This month I followed the exam path recommended by ShotoJuku. I took Introductory Sociology, Introductory Psychology, Human Growth and Development, and yesterday I took Educational Psychology.

Now I want to provide a little feedback about the Educational Psychology exam.

As others have said, it is worded differently than the other related exams. I did NOT like the way they confused me with thier choices.

For example: Which is a more effective method for managing classroom productivity?
A. Explaining the rules and expectations prior to the semester or term.
B. Encouraging parent participation and encouragement at home with homework.

um... do you see what I mean? I totally understood the topic in question, but sometimes had problems making sense of their choices. ... it's a case of poor reliability and validity in a test about how to measure reliability and validity in testing. ...if that made any sense.

Anyway, I got a 66 on the exam, but here's the kicker... I studied for about 5 hours total. I ONLY used notes I prepared from Intro to Psych and Human Growth and Development and the new notes I prepared by googling the topics in the specific exam feedback section. Luv and Snazzlefrag, in particular, really gave some great feedback. So, I used their feedback instead of the flashcards for googling purposes -- no flashcards, books, or Petersons test.

I would encourage anyone to take the exams in the order that Shotojuko, and others, have recommended.

good luck.

Hi, I just wanted everyone to know that after failing Educational Psychology 2 times (42 and 48) I've decided to take an equivalence course in the community college. (Child Development). This was a 5 weeks course ($61.00). I'm happy to says That I've passed and received a A for the course. I have two more Cleps to go. American Literature, failed by 1 point (49) and College Math. I am currently taking Discrete Math and it is hard but I think I may get away with a B. I will know by the end of the year. Incidentally, a good portion of this is on the College Math Clep. Hopefully, I'll do well on the test.

I, too, have the same problem with almost no recall after an exam, so that is a great tip, JoAnne. Now, why didn't I think of that ?!?

I need to take this sometime this week, and I really want to get it over with. I've been taking two tests a week this month and I'm tired of tests. I've promised myself a nice long weekend off if I get this and SS&History and so I really, really just want to pass this and move on to the next one. I haven't studied just a whole lot, but I've taken Human G&D, Sociology, and Psychology in the last two weeks, so I'm familiar with the overall themes. I've also been scoring 60% or so on Petersons. Have y'all found Petersons to be pretty accurate for this test?

Pretty much so but Petersons usually tend to be a little bit more difficult.

That thought is reflected below........
