This review is from: CliffsAP Psychology (Paperback)

I ordered this book while I was taking psychology in college, but I rarely found a need to use it. I did very well with just the required text. It just felt nice to own for a sense of insurance or if you're having a hard time.

3.0 out of 5 stars horrible tests but good info, February 24, 2006

This review is from: CliffsAP Psychology (Paperback)

The information prestented is clear and concise, but the review questions at the end of the chapters are too easy
There are 4 solid tests at the end of the book, and they are very fair.
This book has 4 exams and is therefore maybe more meaningful to you than Barron's or PR's.
Only 3 stars because the quizzes at the end of the chapters were TOO easy (and I amv ery stingy).
