Psychology is the study of how the human mind works, and how individuals behave, from birth to death. This branch of science is research-based, and a mixture of social and the behavioral sciences. If you’re headed to college and want to test out of introductory psychology courses, the College Level -Examination Program could provide that opportunity.

The College Level Examination Program is a set of more than 30 standardized tests on specific subject matter that allow students to gain college-level credit for introductory-level college course work that they have some understanding of. Also called the CLEP exam, these are subject-matter tests that students often take during their freshman and sophomore years of college. Psychology is one of those exams. Passing the CLEP Psychology test can help you earn a maximum of three college-level credits for the exam, although that number varies, depending on the school you are applying to. You would also be able to take more advanced psychology course work instead of the introductory course.

To prepare for the CLEP Psychology exam, you’ll likely want a variety of study options at your disposal. Varsity Tutors’ Learning Tools include thousands of online Flashcards for CLEP Psychology. The questions on these flashcards are designed to be similar to the multiple-choice questions you will encounter when you sit down to complete the CLEP Psychology exam.

Each of the CLEP Psychology Flashcards present a single question and up to four potential answers. After you select an answer, you’ll get immediate feedback about whether you’ve chosen the correct answer or not. You’ll also get an explanation of the concept behind the correct answer. Some of the topics that these free flashcards online include are the following: psychological disorders, shaping, social facilitation, informed consent, and the theories of noted psychologists like Jean Piaget.

If you’re looking for a study aid that gives you flexibility in how you study, and some control over how long you review for the CLEP exam, these flashcards provide that flexibility. This CLEP Psychology review tool allows you to pick and choose which of the thousands of available flashcards you will answer. It also allows you to return to questions that you’ve already seen and answered; these flashcards don’t require that you answer every question in one sitting, unlike other CLEP Psychology review tools.

If you like what you see with these free online flashcards and set up an account, you’ll be able to track your progress and get more information about how you well you understand the subject matter as you prepare for the CLEP exam. You’ll be able to track your scores and your answers; you can even use the flashcard template to create your own personalized flashcards to review for the CLEP Psychology exam.
