OMG, I passed Lifespan Psych!.........


Hello everyone!

I just left my testing center after taking the lifespan psych test. I passed with a C. I actually thought i did better than a "c", but ill get over it!

This test was really hard for me. Why? Because I have no interest in this subject!! My advice to anyone who takes this exam is to know your stufff when it comes to Erikson, Piaget, Freud, and the different types of scientific studies (cross sectional, sequential....ect). Also, the EC practice exam does help. It exposes you to the type of questions/situations that will be asked. A few questions actually came right from the practice test!!!!1

Well, im on to defeat Microbiology! I plan to test at the end of the month!
Did anyone else have trouble with lifespan?
How was the Micro in comparison? What supplemental Micro notes did you use?

Happy 4th!

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings, but at the school I attended (a Northern California community college) micro was substantially more challenging than lifespan psych. However, the difficulty level of various courses can vary widely depending on the individual faculty member and the way the particular class is structured.

Even if your micro class was like mine, good study habits can get you through it.

Good luck!

I do realize that ANY micro class will be harder than lifespan psych. I am just more into the nursing concepts and science classes such as A+P, Micro, Bio ect. I did lifespan first because i knew it would be the hardest for me....and now i dont have to look at that book again!!!

Good Job!

I took 2 months to study Micro and it was my favorite subject. Passed with a B...I used the micro coloring book to start off, it helped me alot.

Good luck!

congrats. micro was a very complx course for me. but i passed it. The txbook was so voluminous. Just focus on the microbiology study guide by Funke. It's very on the point and as good as gold. make sure you study DNA and RNA.

I'm taking the Lifespan exam in the morning and am freaking out! I took the practice exam and got 70 on part a and 79 on part b. I really hate this theory stuff. I can't wait until it is over. I just hope I pass!
