Human Growth & Development CLEP~Another Pass

More good news to share today.
My daughter also went to our local University to take the Human Growth & Development CLEP exam and passed. She is very glad to have this exam behind her. She wanted to take this exam while the other Psych exam materials were still fresh in her mind.

She used the same materials that I previously posted about when my son took the exam. Just scroll down to the other post if interested.

It was a very good day.
2 kids, 2 exams & 2 passes with 6 more credits earned total.

I'm very proud of the both of them.

Human Growth & Development CLEP

Good news to report today. My 17 yr old son passed the Human Growth & Development CLEP and earned 3 more college credits.
We decided for him to take this one since it overlaps with the Intro to Psychology and Sociology exams. Just needed to add more study to the human development, infant learning. This test is considered to be one of the tougher Psychology exams. So don't take this one lightly or without proper studying.

As usual we used the Human Growth & Development REA guide with practice exams. Followed with taking the 3 Peterson's practice exams and also taking the practice test in the Official CLEP Study Guide.
Also here is a website that helps called An Introduction to Lifespan Development that has 19 chapters with lots of practice test for you to take.

Good luck to anyone taking this one.

Another Pass~Introductory Psychology

Last week was a very busy week around here with my kiddos, but I wanted to report that my 15 yr old daughter passed the Introductory Psychology CLEP exam on 12-7-11. She learned a great deal from studying for this exam. She used the same materials that her brother used when he studied for it. If anyone is interested, just scroll to find the other post about this exam and what they both used.
My daughter is thrilled to have 3 more college credits earned. Now to figure out what her next test will be....maybe Human Growth and Development? Although we will probably wait until after the Holidays to start studying for it.

Introductory Psychology Clep

My son took the Intro Psychology test today at the local University. He passed the exam and earned another 3 college credits. He recently took Intro to Sociology, both test have some over-lapping material, so if you take one test you should go ahead and take the other with some additional studying on the brain, eyes, ears, neurons and neurotransmitters.

Major names and theories that were of interest in studying were those of:
Erikson, Freud, Jung, Kohlberg, Piaget, Rogers, Skinner, Watson, Wundt

We used the REA book for Introductory Psychology for most of our studying along with a couple of internet sites and of course Wikipedia to fill in gaps. Here is a site that we used for studying
Psychology: An Introduction that is very good with self test throughout each chapter. Another good site is AllPsych which both my children really enjoyed studying from.

What an interesting subject to study and learn about, Although, we are not through yet. My daughter will be taking this test in the near future.

Introductory Sociology CLEP

Intro to Sociology CLEP test was taken by two of my children at the local University recently. Both children passed and each were awarded with 3 more college credits. YEAH!

We spent several weeks preparing for the test. We purchased the REA CLEP prep book for Sociology. Read through it thoroughly, took the tests in the book/CD, also took 3 Peterson tests and also the test in to CLEP official Study Guide. Also did some online research of the subject and used Wikipedia to get a good understanding of certain terms.

Very interesting subject.
