I took Abnormal Psych years after I had taken Gen Psych and I had no problems. The general stuff is covered in review (the first few chapters) and the rest of the material focuses on specific diagnoses in DSM. It was a very interesting class, and by the end I was convinced I had at least one or two of the diagnoses in the book
I took abnormal psych last semester without any previous psychology class. I passed fine, they go over everything you need to know, don't even sweat it.
I didn't have the greatest teacher, so the class was a little dull and mainly memorization, but hopefully you'll find a great teacher who makes it interesting and worth your while.

I graduated in 97 with an AS in Emergency Medicine, one semester short of a dual degree in Human Services. Well since I have decided to go back to the same school I graduated from to take nursing I am considering taking the remaining courses to get the Human Services Degree along with my ASN. But I haven't taken any psychology courses since 95, I remember quite a bit of it but I am wondering if I will remember enough to pass Abnormal Psychology. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
