This is the only source of study material I had for the Intro. Psychology CLEP exam. I received the book the day before I was scheduled to take the exam, and didn't get to spend more than 10 hours studying it. However those 10 hours were very intense.
There are two practice exams in the text, and you get access to the same ones online (plus a pre-study exam to see what your background knowledge is before you start with the text).
I'll explain how I studied for the CLEP with this book. Let me also say I am a Human Physiology TA, so I knew all the physiology info and know how to study effectively, but the rest was all new information to me. What worked for me may not work for you:
I first took the pre-study exam (the pre-study exam is only 50 questions, I made a 31/50 = 62%, and believe I only did that well due to already knowing the physiology info). I then read through the explanations to each question in that exam, which briefly explains what each one of the multiple choice items is. It was a lot of new information I had no background with, so I made a lot of notes while doing so. I probably spent 2 hours doing this.
I then read the text in about 3-4 hours and took a lot of abbreviated notes along the way.
After reading the text, I re-read all of the notes I had made then took the first practice test. Again I read through the explanations for each question and got to know all the multiple choice items, not just the correct ones.
The next day, I studied all my notes, and took the last practice exam. I again read the invaluable explanations to each question, then off I went to take the CLEP exam.
First off, there are 95 questions on the CLEP test for this subject. There will be about 20 - 25 questions that you will not be able to answer if you only use this book. Different experiments, different scientists, different theories, different phrases, all were a blind spot.
This is how I studied.
First read the book. Finished? Ok. You didn't memorize a dang thing did ya? No, you didn't. That's ok.
Second, go back to chapter 2, the book starts from there, and there are many empty pages, so it's a very short book. Now for every single bolded phrase in that book, you create an index card, with the phrase on the white part, and the definition, sometimes very long, on the opposite lined part. I ended up with 260 index cards. If you have less, you're a slacker, and Freud will personally come smack you around in your sleep.
3rd, go through the index cards, memorize everything, don't worry if you can't articulate exactly what you wrote from memory, just make sure you have a good idea of what the definitions are, and DO NOT confuse one definition with another, it's a multiple choice test, so once you see the relevant answer your bulb will light up and you will click it.
4th, read the book again. Listen. The book is actually 70 pages long. You start from Chapter 2, because Chapter 1 is just info on the test and a bunch of BS info you don't need to know. There are many empty pages used as a divider between chapters, and there are many pages that have like a paragraph or less on them.
5th, take the online tests. I did not do this. I only took the first test which is supposed to tell you where you are weak and where you are strong. I got an 80 on it, and I took this test about 4 or 5 hours before my CLEP exam.
