Seeking advice on GRE Psych vs. ECE exams

[aliciaterp]

I had taken CLEP Social Sciences & History as well, but they did not deduct all six credits from my GRE Psych credits for that. I had an Introductory Psych course worth 4 credits. I am not sure where the other three were taken from, but I know it was only three additional credits that were deducted, not six like SS & History is worth. Maybe just three of the six credits for that exam are duplicative?

As for the original question, I do feel the GRE was worth it for me, and it would have been worth it for me at any score above the 60th percentile. I had hoped to get three or six upper level credits out of it to save enough money to stay in my budget, and I was pleasantly surprised to have knocked out 18 upper level so cheap. I think it's worth a shot, but you should have a back up plan.

Thanks, Alissa. Before I started my program, I asked the advisor which course credits I should avoid so as not to duplicate GRE Psych credits. She told me not to take any psych classes and that there was no official list of courses which correspond to GRE credits. Should have gotten it in writing.

Alissa, did you have to get Statistics credits in addition to the GRE Psych? I'd rather not take the statistics exam if I can avoid it.
