I just finished the “group counseling” of coopersmith by proctorU.There are 8 short essays and 30 multiple questions.This is the first coopersmith exam has essays I take so far.I think there are three multiple-choice questions wrong at most. However.....I'm not sure about every essay question, so I can only answer it roughly. I only answered three or four sentences to each question.I think I can't pass the exam like this

Don't be sad. You don't have your score yet. You only need a few sentences for a short essay, I believe 2-4 suffices.

I agree: don't be sad yet! You did only need to write a couple of sentences for each question. Unless you veered wildly off topic or didn't understand the material at all, there's a good chance that you at least got a passing grade.

Coopersmith refers to these as "short answer questions". They do not require collegiate- or academic-level essays in response. I completed six Coopersmith exams, and I would estimate that my short answer responses averaged three sentences. If I had to guess, I would say they are likely just scanning for key words to see that you know the material.

You haven't got your score back yet. I would just wait for the course grade to come back, during that time, work on something else... put it behind you, you've done the course exam and should be alright at passing. The course is pass/fail, you may be wanting a 100% but getting 70+ or 95% won't make a difference, it's just a Pass they provide you and not a letter grade...

I've read that essay questions are standard on Coopersmith exams but it's usually no more than 5. This is my first time hearing about an exam with 8 questions.
I'm in the middle of studying Abnormal Psych & will take the exam in a couple of weeks. From what I've read that exam has 5 essay questions.
Stay positive and don't think the worst. Keep your fingers cross and I wish you luck.

In my experience, Coopersmith exams have between 0 and 15 open ended/short answer questions. There are at least 4 exams I know of that have 8.

Guys...I got an A. 95%
It seems that as long as you write some words, you can get a high score. I think my essay is not that perfect.
