I needed to learn intro psychology for CLEP with only a few weeks to study or review. I’ve never taken a psychology course before . I went through the Crash Course into psychology series which was the perfect place to start. I followed up with this, which has fewer stories and cuteness than Crash Course but is perfect for covering thoroughly all components that will be tested on CLEP.
Well worth the time and low cost of purchase. Highly recommend for anyone who needs to take the CLEP intro psychology test.
AI voice was slightly annoying but easy to adapt to. It’s a soothing female voice. Had to listen at 0.8 rather than normal speed to really capture everything.
Thanks for creating this excellent resource! This greatly increased my confidence in taking the CLEP

Excellent intro psychology CLEP resource
