Exam Strategies

There is a method to the madness for when to take each exam. I call it exam grouping.

With exam grouping you can study for multiple exams at the same time and let similar exams build on the study of the next. For example there are a number of psychology exams in the degree program. You should group these exams so that the information is still fresh as a number of topics will cross exams.

Here is a psychology exam group.

Psychology Group 1

CLEP Intro to Psychology

CLEP Educational Psychology

CLEP Human Growth and Development

Psychology Group 2

ECE Abnormal Psychology

ECE Research Methods in Psychology

Psychology Group 2

ECE Psychology of Adulthood and Aging

ECE Foundations of Gerontology

All of these exams should be study for and taken in one stretch because the material blends together and studying for one exam will inevitably help you with another.

Another exam group would be the Social Sciences

Social Sciences Group 1

CLEP Social Sciences and History

CLEP Intro to Sociology

CLEP American Government

Social Sciences Group 2

CLEP U.S. History I

CLEP U.S. History II
