Call me crazy, but I bought this book and two others on studying for CLEP before taking the test. This was a helpful guide, better than another I had used. I would recommend this book to others who need to review for the Human Growth and Development CLEP.

The book contains no real review material, only sample tests and questions. There is a section that breaks down the question type by subject, but you cannot use this book to learn material for the test. You can buy this item for the questions, but dont think that it can be your sole source for test prep.

I signed up to take this CLEP Exam to meet elective requirements. I honestly had minimal knowledge of the topic so I wanted to order several study guides to get a better idea of the test and what it would be looking for. The two I focused on initially was this booklet of exam questions and the REA's CLEP Human Growth and Development w/CD (8th Ed).

This booklet's answers to questions directly contradicted REA's answers and explanations. This booklet offered no explanation for its conflicting answers, while REA's did. I grew so tired for reading conflicting information, I threw this book in the trash and studied off the REA's CLEP Human Growth and Development w/CD (8th Ed) only. Using ONLY the information from REA's CLEP Human Growth and Development w/CD (8th Ed), I got a 71 on my CLEP Exam. All the questions were VERY similar to the questions asked by REA and none of the questions in this booklet were remotely close to the actual exam!!I recommend going with REA and learn it from cover to cover.
