How good are Cram101 books, are they worth buying?

[malcs]

I'm also taking the gerontology and adult aging exams. I've read in a number of post that this is the one I need to start with. Which study material is best to start with if you haven't studied psych in over 20 years? Although it always seemed to be common sense to me.

Study all of the material for both tests before taking one. These are related so taking the two as a pair is a savings in effort. IC, the exam specific forum, and again, the GRE book, at a minimum. I would take the tests a few days apart once you know the material.

Gerentology has a practice exam, I would buy that and take it after you are done studying as a final check. That test will give you a list of your weak areas, and you can research them in the textbook and get an A.

Also, I think that all of the publisher sites for the textbooks have online quizzes and summary information. I used them with most of the EC tests.

There is lots on the exam specific sites about these tests.
