    passed today with an A
    160 mutiple choice questions
    they give you 3 hours
    I "completed" the test in two hours, then took 15 minutes to review the 30 question I left blank or had marked unsure

    like every other exam, not that hard if you study

    I used an earlier edition (the 4th) of the reccommended book
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0534560083/qid=1135366534/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-0113523-9954524?n=507846&s=books&v=glance

    and the Princeton Review
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0375764925/qid=1135366730/sr=1-4/ref=sr_1_4/102-0113523-9954524?s=books&v=glance&n=283155

    understand correlations, factorial experiments, between subjects, within subjects

    know chapters 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 of the first book and the research and statistics sections of the 2nd book. That is all. A casual relaxed reading of those chapters, then testing yourself by reviewing the stuff in the chapter summary and the key terms and you will ACE this exam

    they give you a breakown afterwards

    Congrats! It must feel good to have that one behind you.
    How are the ECE exams graded? Are the wrong answers counted against you ?
