I am taking this test in 10 days and have only the IC notes. Has anyone taken this test? Any recommendations? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks greatly. Myhoney

I haven't taken this exam, so all I can say is look at specific exam feedback or search.
Also, the ECE free study guides are pretty helpful for the ECEs I have taken.

This exam isn't too bad, especially if you have taken any lifespan or developmental psych classes. I would recommend that you review the IC cards for lifespan or developmental psych. I can't remember if EC has a practice exam for this one, but if they do pay the $65 as it will be well worth it. You will need to know the various statistics and review situational questions. Good luck!

Passed it with a C today. The IC study cards were enough to get me by, but the GPA takes a hit. I wasn't able to have the time to study anything else (active military and busy), but the IC cards will get you through it. On to my last test! Thanks everyone for the comments and suggestions.

I'm taking the test on 8/12. Have read all of the material, reviewed the IC flashcards, but only got a 73 on Excelsior's practice test. I feel I know the material well, but the statistics are killing me. Any advice?

Just an update. Took the test today, and got an A. Easier than the practice tests, but really sticks to material in the book. Can't say that there was one concentration over another - just get comfortable with everything. Not as much statistics as I feared. Not as much on research designs, either.
