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 Content Area Percent of Exam covering Content Area Percentage correct in Content Area Experimental Psychology and the Scientific Method 5 100 Research Ethics (APA Guidelines) 7 91 Alternatives to Experimentation (Nonexperimental Designs) 25 98 Basics Concepts of Experimental Research 25 98 Experimental Research Designs 20 88 Data Analysis and Interpretation 10 81 Writing Research Reports 8 100
