The book is simply a cut and paste of old questions type of production. The layout was poorly presented, looks like the output from the '80s old fashion typewriter. Unlike other clep books, this one did not contain any study material of the subject matter, and only listed sample questions and answers (it does not provide explanation neither ??) The author gave a suggested book list, does it mean he wants us to buy and read the other five or six books and then take the questions? I am quite sure I will pass the clep by doing all these. It costs me some money, but not any more with this publisher....
good luck shopping.

I bought this book in preparation for the CLEP Introductory Psychology exam, but I haven't used it much. I took the CLEP exam two days ago, and thumbing through the book just now, the questions in the book just don't seem to coincide much with the content of the computerized CLEP exam. Perhaps the questions are from old test banks, or it could be that the author just winged it. I dunno.

So is this book worthless? Well, no. It could be of some value in preparing for the CLEP exam. Still, I largely agree with other reviews on this page, and I don't think the price of the book is worth the modest return a reader is likely to get back from it. I'd suggest buying the official CLEP guide instead, and following the exam outline to prepare. .... For a more modest outlay, the Psychology video from the Standard Deviants is also a good exam prep resource.

This book is not very fancy -no pictures or anything like that, but I thought it was very helpful in studying for the CLEP.

The book is simply just a cut-and-paste of old questions, no more, no less. The layout was poorly presented. Feel like it produced from the 80's old typewriter. Unlike other clep books, it only contains suggested examination questions and answers (without explanation). The author only listed the suggested book list, and no materials about the subject was mentioned.
Does it mean, we need to buy the other five books to study and then work on the "questions" he suggested? I am quite sure I will pass by doing all these. Good luck
