I used this video and the accompanying workbook to prepare for the CLEP "Introduction to Psychology" exam, and I found it to be a valuable preparation tool. While the tape doesn't cover every single concept covered in the CLEP exam, it does cover most of the important concepts covered in an introductory pychology course. While the presenters in the video probably shouldn't try for careers as stand-up comics, the humorous asides included in the video make it much less dry than the typical "talking heads" presentation. All-in-all, this video is a great introduction to introductory psychology, and a more than adequate exam review.

The accompanying outline booklet accompanying this video is well worth the small additional cost over the video alone.

I used this video about two years ago to prepare for my Intro to Psychology CLEP exam. I was very impressed. I honesty didn't use any other study material. The little skits are corny but very effective in teaching basic psychology concepts. Most of the concepts that were on the tape were right on the exam. I viewed the tape at least three times before taking the exam. I also watched it the morning before taking it. I scored a 54 on the CLEP exam. Now that's not bad, for a CIS major. :-)
