I heard from some people that intro to educational psych and intro to psych don't overlap...is that true?
Oh, ok...the test covered both history I &II plus world history but thats actually less than 1/2 of the exam; it also had psychology, sociology, economics, world civilization and one or two anthropology questions.
I took lifespan the dantes version of HG&D, but did run through the intro to Ed psy cards and it seemed pretty straightforward. It is based on early development and testing so the theories you've learned about should apply. Maybe run through the IC cards to see how you feel about the subject. There is also a very thorough study guide floating around the forum. I preferred lifespan but I'm much older.
A&I lit might be best but at least you have options.

If you hate reading, be prepared for a miserable two hours.. because this test is all reading. I like reading and was actually a bit bored during the test, but then again, any time I have to do one thing for more than a few minutes I get bored. hilarious
If you've got the money to spend, as another poster mentioned, just take 30 minutes to review the specific feedback thread and go take it. You'll probably pass, but if you don't, you still have time to study for another one. I would probably do that if you've got to take a test quickly. Go today or tomorrow if you can. Then if you fail, you'll still have time to pick a test and study.

Everything you need to know about he A&I exam is found here: Analyzing and Interpreting Literature CLEP Study Guide - Free-Clep-Prep.com
Notice the advice about reading out loud if you can get away with it. Sounding out the difficult to read passages does help. Notice that links are provided. You do need to know a few terms, but you probably already know them.
You've done well on so many exams, I can't imagine you needing to study for this one. I didn't. My son didn't. He made close to my score. We didn't study at all, we took it cold.
63 CLEP Sociology
75 CLEP U.S. History II

I'm really confused as to why so many people are pushing A&I Lit.
purple said:
1. She hates reading
2. She is not a native English speaker
3. She often has trouble understanding what she reads
A&I Lit is:
1. Lots of heavy duty reading.
2. Lots of dense, obscure English, most from old books and poems and plays. 3. Hard to understand even for many native English speakers, because of the older English & literary techniques it uses.
Stay far, far away from A&I Lit, purple, unless you have money to burn and just want to give it a shot to avoid having to study for any more tests.
My vote:
- Human Growth and Development, because there is definitely overlap with Intro to Psych
- or Principles of Marketing, or Principles of Management, because I've never seen anyone have trouble with these

Also, I didn't take intro to psych yet so even though it overlaps, it doesn't help because I have less than 2 weeks to study
