lifespan developmental psych

Published

Hi all!! My name is Kristin, I'm new to this site, this is actually my first post! I just recently registered for excelsior and in the process of info lit and lifespan developmental psych. What I wanted to know from anyone who has taken the lifespan CLEP is, what is a sure bet to study from in order to pass? I have the required books on the way and I was planning on looking into the content guide, anything else?? I'm not used to online style courses where I can't ask the instructor what exactly I should be focusing on in order to pass the exam. Any help would be appreciated, thank you!! :up:

Right, two different tests, but similar topics. EC has the Lifespan Developmental Pyschology exam, and CLEP has Human Growth and Development. For all EC exams, you can use whatever resources you'd like, but just make sure you download the free exam content guide and ensure that whatever you're studying will cover the necessary topics. :)

Thanks Lunah!! I've been following your posts since before I became a member and your threads gave me the motivation to get started and sign up for Excelsior. Any information you have is extremely helpful. I tend to be a procrastinator so I need all the help I can get, thank you!

Question, info lit isn't a course where you check in weekly/have discussions/talk with the professor correct?? Thank you!!

Nope - it's all self-directed and will probably only take you a day or two to complete.

You were right! I completed info lot in about 3 days (only taking a couple hours each day) comparable to that, how long would you say it takes to competently study for lifespan of developmental psych? How many hours a week and for how many weeks. Thanks!

I honestly don't remember - I did the Human Growth and Development CLEP in 2007, so it's been a while!
