Intro to Psychology - mcchef - 07-08-2010
I took Psych in high school....... do I have a shot at passing? Also, is it all multiple choice?

Yes it is all multiple choice, and with proper study anyone can pass. If you are a paying member check out specific exam feedback section. If not, search "psychology clep"

Best study material you can find anywhere is at your local library. I am currently using Harper Collins College Outline. It is amazing! 250 pages jam-packed of everything that you would ever learn in a psych 101 course without too much fluff to drag out your study time.
Also check out Free Clep Prep.com for online study and links to how you can get three FREE practice tests. These will help you to see how much you still remember from high school and how much you still need to study.

Yeah, that's one misconception about CLEPs that I hate that does damage to their reputation (and sometimes to the people who take them). "Oh, its just a multiple choice test and you get 3-6 credits without doing any work to earn it."
Anyone here (especially on this forum) who's taken a CLEP knows that these things do take work to pass... Some of the tests may be 'easy', especially if you've had any background (professional/education/hobby) in it, but that's true of just about anything...
Can you pass them with a little bit of knowledge in the subject, knowledge of how to game standarized tests, and a lot of luck? Sure. But I'd like to see statistics on pass rates for this type of test taking.

That with Peterson's practice tests should be more than enough to pass (although, I haven't taken it yet, so we'll see how it goes
