Hi LuBee,

Welcome to the board. It's great to have you here.

All the Psychology exams have some elements that overlap with each other.....same theories, same theorists etc.

In the next two weeks or so, I will be taking Intro to Psychology, Intro to Educational Psychology, Lifespan Development Psychology, and Fundamentals of Counseling. I also just took Organizational Behavior today.

It is wise to try and 'cluster' your exams together whenever there is overlap in the material. That way you maximise your studies.

- Anthropology, Sociology, Psychology.
- Macreconomics, Microeconomics, Money & Banking.
- Intro to Business Law, Business Law II.
- Principles of Accounting, Principles of Finance.
- Principles of Management, Principles of Supervision.
- Biology, Natural Science
- Humanities, Art History
Etc.

There is nothing wrong with doing multiple exams on the same day. I have done it a few times myself. But I wouldn't do it too often, unless I was absolutely sure that I could pass them all. If there is any doubt, you would be better off taking them a few days apart. Still close together, but you'll have a couple of extra days to prepare for each one.

The prize goes to those who finish...not just to those who finish first! So there is no harm in taking your time and ensuring you pass each and every exam you take!

But yeah, I (and others) have taken three exams on the same day before. So it CAN be done!

Best of luck,
Snazzlefrag
