Finally got back into the test center. Scored a 69 on Intro to Ed Psych with about 4 hours total of studying. Here's my approach. I have windows set to record my replys. I run through each set of flashcards in order. the first time I guess at a few but for the most part just hit the enter button and see the answer. I then type it in in the correct/wrong screen. Windows will hold the info. Then I keep running through the flashcards until I get 100%. I usually miss one or two over and over again. That actually helps to reinforce the rest of the cards. Eventually there is an ah huh moment where the answer kicks into my brain. The first time through takes some time but then the rest of the run throughs speed up significantly. I think it also helps during the test. I've never even come close to hitting the time limit on any of the test that I've taken.
Once the flashcards are running through at 100% I take the CLEP practice test. (I don't know what I'm going to do for the Dantes tests with their measly 10 sample questions...) At that point I Google any of the answers that I've missed. This helps two ways. One I get a better grasp of that concept but, two, I always see some questions on the test that are covered in what ever I dig up.
I notoriously over prepare. This was the first test that I took at full speed. I always feel that a test is going to come up soon that will destroy me... After 7 CLEP's I'm starting to get a little more confident though...
