2009-06-12 I passed! (5 of 5)
I passed my CLEP test with this book!!

I have to admit, I thought I had the basic knowledge of educational psychology, but this book really helped me learn the things I wasn't so familiar with and brush up on the things I already knew.

I just took the tests first, then went back and reviewed all of the material that I got incorrect. I passed my test with flying colors and this is the only study material I used!

2009-04-18 good review for the test (4 of 5)
I have never taken ed psych before and i used this as my sole study guide. I passed the exam easily yesterday. It does seem like there is info on the test that was not in the book, but the book gives you most of the concepts you need to figure out stuff you don't know on the exam. I would recommend this as a study guide for the exam.

I'm glad I purchased this prep material. The practice tests along with the review had me well prepared for the exam. I passed with no problem. However, the practice tests are easier than the actual exam, so don't get over confident. You do have to study for the CLEPs. Good luck!

2006-12-08 THIS CLEP STUDY GUIDE DOES NOT CUT THE MUSTARD! (2 of 5)
I have taken almost every CLEP test and have used REA study guides many times before. This CLEP study guide for Introduction to Educational Psychology cover less than half of the material on the actual exam. Now if you read all of the reviews on this page you will read all kinds of different things. Some of the earlier reviews seem to say that this CLEP test is a slam dunk if you study this review. It may be that the questions on the actual CLEP test have somehow been updated because this book does not cover the material on the current CLEP test all. If you have never taken a CLEP test before you might want try an easier CLEP test first such as Principles of Marketing so that you can have success on your very first CLEP test. If you keep taking CLEP tests like these and keep flunking them when you finally do pass a CLEP test you are going to feel like Thomas Edison when he invented the light bulb after 10,000 unsuccessful tries.

2006-12-02 Worked for me! (4 of 5)
This book helped me pass the test today with a score of 52, however I feel it was not comprehensive enough. I studied this book every spare moment I had for a month taking it EVERYWHERE and felt I had it practically memorized which would have led to a better score if the questions mirrored the book. A lot of the questions on the test were not in this book at all. Maybe the test changes and that may be why some think it is an excellent resource. Bottom line, this book will help you pass but to better prepare yourself, I would get another book to to study along with this one. Just happy I passed my first CLEP test. I will take more CLEP's, but will probably try to find better resources.
