 Look elsewhere!! ( kristy7379 )
The three "tests" that come with the software have questions that are not even covered in the book! I had no idea where 50% of the questions on the practice tests even came from. Why they would include material on their tests that they do not even address in the review guide is beyond me. Anyway- do not waste your money!! You study and study the chapters, and when you try to take the tests you have no idea where half of them came from.

 OUTSTANDING PREP GUIDE FOR DDST(DANTES) LIFESPAN DEVELOPMENT AS WELL AS HUMAN GROWTH & DEVELOPMENT CLEP ( chyndamh )
I actually used this book to study for the military's CLEP call the DANTE'S (DSST). It's a good study guide. I made sure I read the book the first 2 days and then studied the questions for only a week. I took the test and PASSED with flying colors. In order to pass though you Definitely need to get down everything in the book such as Piaget's theory, Kohlberg's moral development theory, Erik Erikson's theory, and Frued's theory. Also make sure you get down classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and observational learning. Get down research methods (case study, correlational, cross-sectional, experimental, longitudinal, observational). There was also a question about Lev Vygotsky who is not covered in the book. The test deals most with child development; I would definately recommend doing your own internet research if you need futher explanation or examples. BUT THIS BOOK IS AN AWESOME GUIDE. To build off of. Like I said I only looked over this book about an hour a day for a whole week. It was a great deal of help.

saved a grand
Thanks to this book I do not have to take a human growth and development class saving me a thousand at least. To get the best use of this book you should first take test one review the answers to all the questions then retest on the ones you missed until you eventually get them all correct. After that read the 13 chapter study guide. Then take test two and repeat the cycle reading the study guide after taking each of the three test for a total of three times. Then before the actual test take the official practice test to see how you do to make sure you can get the score you need so you do not waste your time taking the test.

REVIEW FOR HUMAN GROWHT/DEVELOPMENT
I TOOK TEST AND FELT THAT THIS BOOK IS INFORMATIVE BUT NOT ENOUGH TO HELP YOU PASS THIS TEST. YOU DEFINITELY NEED A COLLEGE TEXTBOOK ON HUMAN LIFE SPAN TO PASS THIS TEST. THE TEST HAS ALOT OF INFORMATION NOT CONTAINED IN CLEP EXAM BOOK AND YOU NEED MORE DETAILS IN TERMS OF INFORMATION ON GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT. YOU CAN PASS THIS TEST IF YOU STUDY AND USE ADDITIONALY RESOURCES. A VERY GOOD BOOK TO SUPPLEMENT WITH IS HUMAN LIFE SPAN BY DIANA PAPALIA. GOOD LUCK. I REALLY FELT I PASSED BECAUSE OF THESE TWO BOOKS

Know your College ACE score
REA did not do their homework! This REA book only covered a third of the information that was on the test I took. I was able to guess my way to a 50 ACE (College "C" equivalency) score, but that is not good enough for my college which requires a 63. This book was a waste of time. Do not buy this book until they turn out a newer version or make it the last after studying Sociology and Psychology and you will do better. If your college accepts a lower ACE score than mine, you should be okay especially after preparing for the Sociology and Psychology CLEPs. I wish I had read the reviews before taking the exam. That will not happen again.
