Is this possible?

Ok, I have another Clep under my belt (sociology). I have to admit, I didn't study for this like I "should have", but a pass is a pass. My next Clep is for intro to psychology. My question is this, I wanted 3 weeks study time for this exam but when talking to the proctor at my Clep site of choice, the next available dates they have are 7/5 and 7/30! I would like to keep the momentum going (especially since I just finished sociology, and the two are kind of buildable) and get this out of the way by testing on the 7/5 date; but, I am afraid that I may be pushing it with this exam. Is two weeks enough or should I just go ahead and shoot for the 7/5 date?

Thanks for any input.

I didnt take psychology through anything online or test out of, but rather in a traditional class. Anything is possible though! Just get cracking with those books!! Good luck!

Thanks, dslpninla! I just got back from the bookstore with my rea clep book!

Two weeks is enough, the REA guide is an easy read, only about 100 pages on the actual topic. Good luck. I didn't study for Sociology either and my score showed it (50), but a pass is a pass.

How was it???? I HAVE to do that. I was going to do it next, but I am getting so involved with investigating cpne workshops. I haven't decided if I will do it now, or wait til I am done. Ordered the Rhe book though, so I am on my way.

I clepped interepeting Lit. and it sucked!

Thanks nervous1, I received the same score and was so disappointed in myself because I KNEW I could have done better had I prepared better. It was also a mistake for me to schedule two tests so close together, which made it hard for me to dedicate study time to sociology (which I wasn't too interested in) AND A&I Lit (which I really enjoy).

The sociology Clep wasn't hard "per se'", I was ill prepared. I received a 50.

Now the A& I Lit, I did well (64), but this subject was more my cup of tea.

To me the psych and soc clep were kind of similar; you could possibly be successful on the exam in a short period of study time.

I started reading my rea clep book yesturday and already have notice the similarities. The two subjects are interesting in content (to me anyway)so I should be just fine.

Make sure this is one course that you need before you take it. I took Intro to Psychology at the community college and EC said it did not apply to my ADN degree, even as an elective, not sure why, I got a B in the class. You might want to call and check with your advisor to be sure.... you may be able to just get HG&D done instead.

REA is all I used and passed both with no problems. Best of luck to you.

OK, So it seems that I am a bit too "gung ho"...Turns out I DON'T need this psychology clep. It was difficult to get an exact yes or no, from excelsior, with regard to it being used as an elective, I guess that I will scratch this one (I didn't pay for the clep anyway). So then on to human growth and development... I paid for that one and scheduled it for the 30th of July, initially it was three weeks after the psychology clep, so i feel like I am wasting two weeks on something i could be testing on. Oh well!

Thanks everyone!
