    Default VOTE for which study guide(s) to use for: Pyschology

    Which one do you recommend as a supplemental to IC study guide?

    Just would like your recommendations. These were the only printed books that I could find on this clep course.
    (And the only difference I could find in option 1 & 2 was the edition release date.)

    The OTHER could mean InstantCert WITH an additional study guide (please specify what guide you recommend).


    Please vote early the "polling office" closes in 60 days.

    Hi Brt,

    I'm studying for Intro to Psych right now.

    I am using a combination of Instantcert, Sparknotes, and the REA Study Guide.

    Sparknotes:
    http://www.sparknotes.com/psychology/index.html

    This is a pass/fail exam, and I am sure I am overstudying. But since my major is Psychology, I REALLY don't want to have to explain why I failed this one. LOL

    Best of luck,
    Snazzlefrag

    Default IC is enough

    I sat this exam earlier this year, using nothing but IC. It was EXTREMELY EASY. If you thoroughly cover the explanations on each question you will easily score in the 60-80 range guaranteed.


    Disclaimer : Suggesting someone use IC only for any exam is not the opinion of Instacert or it's webmaster Steve G. ( It is strictly my opinion based on my results while using nothing but instacert to prepare for this exam. Furthermore while taking this exam I felt as if I knew all of the answers while feeling as if I had sat this exam numerous times.




    Thank You,
    Don G.

    Hey Don,

    It's great to hear from you. I thought we'd lost you somewhere along the way there.

    I hope you are well,

    Recommends using the InstantCert study guide, read it over at least twice. then use the official CLEP study guide just right before your test date to gauge how well you know your stuff. the official study guide is a great indicator of your test performance, getting over half the question right on the official study guide is a good indication that you'll at least pass.
