Customer Reviews

This study guide is a great resource

I studied with this guide by reading the material and then taking the first test (be sure to then do the last 5 questions on the written test, as the computerized tests only contain the first 95 questions and the book has 100 questions for each test, it's the same questions just with 5 more for each test). I then read through all the answers, slept on it and took the second test and read through all the answers. I then used the Official CLEP Study Guide from the College Board and did that pratice test and finally re-read some of the material in this guide that I felt weak on before taking the test. Total study time was 3 days of 2 hours a day. I scored a 72 on the test. I feel a person can pass this test with some past knowledge of the material and just this guide. If your good at tests, then you should be able to do it with just this guide. Just remember the sample questions in these study guides are NOT the questions you will see on the test, but they get you a long way towards knowing the right answers to the questions you see.

This book is SUPERB.

Took the CLEP exam after studying this book and it was a breeze. I scored a 73. This book was very comprehensive and if you take the time to really familiarize yourself with the material you should do well on the test. I supplemented the book with wikipedia.com and flashcard testing from instantcert.com.

Test Prep made easier

The Introductory Pychology CLEP study guide did indeed help me pass the test. It was not the only book i read but there was certainly good information. The information is not as detailed in this format as other study guides but it does give you the basics for the test. I recommend reading other test study guides as well if you do not have a background in psychology. There were also a lot of questions that the book did not cover, that is why more then one study guide would be recommended.

A great study guide

This book was great. Each chapter had plenty of details, but they were organized around a few main themes and so they didn't seem so overwhelming like they would in a regular textbook--they all fit together and were easier to remember. I think if I was taking an Intro Psych class instead of the CLEP, I would still want to use this book to help me learn the material.

Very Good

This is relatively new REA CLEP review subject. It is an indispensable study guide, since it reviews the essentials for the CLEP Introductory Psychology exam, unlike other textbooks which are meant for real lecture college courses. Our library has every CLEP title, and students have expressed positive feedback about REA's subject reviews.
