Practice Exams

Published

Hi! I'm currently studying my for my first exam, Developmental Psychology. I have the StudyGuide101 material. I have read through the forums and found that, generally speaking, taking the practice exam through Excelsior and then studying that with the rationales is very beneficial to passing the actual exam. My question is do yall think that one version is enough or would it be better to do both practice exams? Also, how beneficial are all of the quiz type questions that are included in the StudyGuide101? Which of these (practice exam vs SG101 questions) would you spend the most time with to prepare for the exams with Excelsior? Thanks!

When you purchase the practice exams it includes practice exam A and B so you'll do both. I used the practice exams solely to study for psychology

I used one practice exam at the beginning of my studying for each course to get an idea of where I really needed to focus and how much I already knew. I took the 2nd exam a couple weeks before my scheduled exam to get an idea of how ready I was to take the exam. That way I could focus on any areas that I still needed to review/ learn.

It worked very well for me, I passed every Excelsior exam on my 1st try.
