Another EPPP Prep Question (sorry)
Hi all!
I just registered to take the EPPP at the start of July, and I am trying to figure out how unprepared I am and how much I need to step up my study game. I have been (inconsistently) studying using AATBS since October, but have increased my studying over the last month (audio lectures whenever I'm driving/walking anywhere, taking notes on content slides, and doing domain quizzes). I took a practice test in March and scored a 60%, and my second practice test (taken last week) was a 61% - so I feel like I'm not making progress. My weakest core areas are clinical psychology (go figure), physio, and lifespan.
I am a horrible standardized test-taker so I've been trying to track my approach to questions (e.g., is the correct answer usually one of the response options I am between) and practice the tips AATBS provides on the general approach to the exam. I am also planning to devote one full day a week to studying as well as 2-3 hour blocks on 3 days after work for the next month. My plan is to take notes on each content area (not extensive, just covering all the basics), then add to the notes based on the questions I get wrong on the domain quizzes. I also plan to switch from the AATBS audio lectures (listened to them all at least twice, don't feel like they've added all that much to my preparedness) to the PscyhPrep ones. I am taking a Dr. David practice exam this weekend, and will take/review at least 2 more AATBS exams before my test date as well.
Generally, does my plan sound sufficient to prepare me in time for my exam date? Additionally, are there any other resources/methods people recommend?
