I thought I'd give this book a try after successfully using other REA titles. I found this book to be a great resource and passed the Psychology CLEP with an "A". It only has two practice tests but they are fairly detailed. The information in the text is a little light and sometimes confusing. I had to look at a few other sources to figure out what this book left out, specifically on the structure of the brain and brain stem. All in all I think this is a great CLEP study resource and it is the reason I passed this CLEP. This was my fifth CLEP and I bought all the other books based on customer reviews. This one was new and had no reviews so I took a chance. It paid off. I recommend this book.

Passed the CLEP on 8/2/06 with a 75! This book does NOT cover everything you'll find on the exam. It DOES condense into less than 100 easy to read pages enough info to pass the exam. (I had the same experience with REA's CLEP for biology-there was a lot on the CLEP exam the REA book didn't cover, but I still scored a 65 by really knowing the content of the book.)

I wasn't confident about my psych knowledge so I also used collegeboard.com and instacert for the CLEP Intro to Psych. These sites helped me score higher, but I still found questions on the CLEP that also were not found in these sources.

My advice--be thorough with your study of the REA book--and pass the CLEP!

The good thing about this book is that it's very short. With only about 100 pages of content (the rest is practice tests) it is a very quick read. The downside is that it doesn't cover everything. I started studying for the this exam two days ago and I took it today. I read this book, took the practice exams and then looked at the practice exam in the official book from the college board and realized that a lot of it wasn't covered here. So I went to instantcert.com and went through about half of their flash cards and scored a 72 (out of 80) on the test today.
