This book was a total waste of time and money. It had far too much detail unnecessary for the test. The information was not presented in a logical, easy to remember manner. A review of the main learning theories from a basic psychology book would probably prove as helpful and less frustrating. I got a 74 on the test, but common sense, logic and a little psychology background were the reasons, not this guide.

The book covered the exam well enough for me to score a 71, but it had a LOT of excess information that I really stressed over learning and was completely unnecessary.

Check it against the College Board's content guide for the test before you stress over every detail of something that isn't on the test.

I read and took the practice exams several times. To the point that I did not miss any of the questions. However the actual test questions were not even close. This was not a help.

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 ;)
