This review is from: CLEP Human Growth & Development w/ CD (REA) - The Best Test Prep for the CLEP (Test Preps) (Paperback) I have used the REA study guides for 4 of the 5 CLEP tests I have taken. This is the first guide that I am unsatisfied with.About 60 of the 90 questions that appeared on the CLEP test I took today were regarding child development. This REA study guide barely touches upon the theories that appeared on the actual CLEP regarding child development (especially Paiget). I would say this study guide covers about 1/3 of the actual material that appeared on the CLEP. The practice questions from the Official CLEP study guide by the College Board represent the material I saw on the Human Growth and Development test today much more than this study guide. I got a 70/80 on the test today, however, I know this is because I recently took a child development course and not because of this study guide. 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful: By A Customer This review is from: CLEP Human Growth & Development w/ CD (REA) - The Best Test Prep for the CLEP (Test Preps) (Paperback) Purchased the book about a week before the test. Read through it cover to cover; took the tests on the CD and managed to pass the actual test with a 71. Covered a lot of material I was unfamiliar with that did show up on the test. Would definitly buy if trying to study for the Human Growth & Development Clep. But make sure you study ;) 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful: Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: CLEP Human Growth & Development w/ CD (REA) - The Best Test Prep for the CLEP (Test Preps) (Paperback) I used this book along with instantcert.com to study for the HG&D CLEP exam. It was a tougher test than I expected. It seems like the level of general info you get in the study prep materials is just one notch below the level of detail needed to be certain of the test answers. Many times a question would have two right answers (you have to choose the best one). I did pass with a 67, but I really, really thought I was bombing it the whole time!The bottom line: Don't take this exam lightly - study the info repeatedly and look up additional/background details on wikipedia. Overall this REA book does a good job though. I think it's a critical tool in prepping for the exam. |
