 NICE BOOK BUT NOT COMPREHENSIVE ENOUGH!
Yes like some of these other reviews say this is a nice book but the fact is that this book alone may not be enough to pass the Human Growth & Development CLEP test. Yes there are several other reviews about this CLEP test and this books preparation for it but most of the reviews are over a year old and are outdated. If you have no prior college experience and have never taked a CLEP test before and a lot of people haven't then you need to avoid this book by REA and this CLEP test and first try something easy like CLEP Principles of Marketing which REA also makes a book for. You should not depend on this book and this book alone to pass this CLEP test at least supplement it with something such as the College Board CLEP Guide which is on the shelf in almost any bookstore. Furthermore if you have never taken a CLEP test before avoid Human Growth and Development and take an easier CLEP test instead.

 It gets the job done ( luca66 )
It's not a great book, but it gets the job done. Several questions even in the sample tests simply are not related to what you find in the text and the real test also has a number of questions that the book doesn't answer. No reason to learn the book by heart. Common sense counts for about 40-44 points (50 = pass). You'll be ok.

 Growth and Development CLEP ( brenda9894 )
I took the clep and passed with a 59. I would not have passed without this book. Study and know the different theories, particularly Piaget. The overall test was not as easy as some have described.If you study and learn the contents of this book you will pass. Definately recommended.

I passed
If I wouldn't have used this book, I wouldn't have passed. I studied about 2 weeks for the CLEP exam and passed with 63 points. I really knew the contents of this book and if I wouldn't have, I probably would have failed. However, the book only reflects about 50% of the actual exam. There were some defenitions on the exam and some topics that were covered in the book. I also used a college text book which included some of the questions on the exam, but I've never seen about 20-30% of the questions in my life. If the book would really reflect the exam, I think I would have had less difficulty. My tip: use the book and really know the content. Forget about the questions in the back. They don?t really help. They just make you frustrated. Use a college text book and learn about researches. Make sure you know the theorists well. Especially Piaget. There were also many questions about child development and intelligence. A few questions about biology and mental illnesses and very few about aging. The CLEP exam was not so easy. I answered many questions by guessing and eliminating but make sure you think fast. You only have 90 minutes. I almost ran out of time at the end, but I still made it.
Wish you all good luck!!!

Easy exam to pass
I have taken 4 CLEP exams till now and this turned out to be the one I needed least preparation in. The exam is not that tough, its mostly about current research and general questions (general viewpoint about cultures, teenagers etc). The book gives u a base to go for the exam and if u guess right and eliminate the wrong answers, You should do fine.
