CHAPTER 1

PASSING THE CLEP HUMAN GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT EXAM

Congratulations! Youre joining the millions of people who have discovered the value and educational advantage offered by the College Boards College-Level Examination Program, or CLEP. This test prep focuses on what you need to know to succeed on the CLEP Human Growth and Development exam, and will help you earn the college credit you deserve while reducing your tuition costs.

GETTING STARTED

There are many different ways to prepare for a CLEP exam. Whats best for you depends on how much time you have to study and how comfortable you are with the subject matter. To score your highest, you need a system that can be customized to fit you: your schedule, your learning style, and your current level of knowledge.

This book, and the online tools that come with it, allow you to create a personalized study plan through three simple steps: assessment of your knowledge, targeted review of exam content, and reinforcement in the areas where you need the most help.

Lets get started and see how this system works.

THE REA STUDY CENTER

The best way to personalize your study plan is to get feedback on what you know and what you dont know. At the online REA Study Center (www.rea.com/studycenter), you can access two types of assessment: a diagnostic exam and full-length practice exams. Each of these tools provides true-to-format questions and delivers a detailed score report that follows the topics set by the College Board.

DiagnosticExam

Before you begin your review with the book, take the online diagnostic exam. Use your score report to help evaluate your overall understanding of the subject, so you can focus your study on the topics where you need the most review.

Full-Length Practice Exams

Our full-length practice tests give you the most complete picture of your strengths and weaknesses. After youve finished reviewing with the book, test what youve learned by taking the first of the two online practice exams. Review your score report, then go back and study any topics you missed. Take the second practice test to ensure you have mastered the material and are ready for test day.
