CLEP Introduction to Educational Psychology Readiness Test

10 questions, balanced across the exam's topics. Answer each one, then submit for your practice readiness estimate and per-topic breakdown. This is a practice estimate — not a prediction or guarantee of your official exam result.

Question 1

Which example most directly illustrates Anti-bias classroom practice?

Educators and caregivers jointly identify useful supports for a student's learning. A school provides language access so all families can meaningfully participate. A teacher interrupts a harmful generalization and guides evidence-based respectful discussion. A teacher asks families about their experiences and examines personal assumptions.

Question 2

Match each description to its most specific topic, in the order shown. I. A researcher uses a probability procedure to select schools for a survey. II. A study compares existing classrooms using different instructional programs.

I: Correlation and causation; II: Quasi-experimental design I: Random sampling; II: Confounding variable I: Random sampling; II: Quasi-experimental design I: Quasi-experimental design; II: Random sampling

Question 3

A reference distribution has mean 69 and standard deviation 9. A learner scores 111/2. What is the z score? Use z = (score − mean) / standard deviation; no normality assumption is needed to compute it.

-3/2 3/2 -5/2 -1/2

Question 4

Match each description to its most specific topic, in the order shown. I. A student holds intermediate values in mind while solving a multistep problem. II. A student focuses on a teacher's explanation despite unrelated hallway noise.

I: Working memory; II: Schema I: Working memory; II: Selective attention I: Elaborative rehearsal; II: Selective attention I: Selective attention; II: Working memory

Question 5

Which example most directly illustrates Unconditioned stimulus?

Loss of a privilege is followed by reduced rule breaking. A sudden loud noise produces a startle response before classroom associations develop. A team studies whether disruptions reliably lead to escape from difficult assignments. Rewards follow differing numbers of responses rather than a fixed count.

Question 6

Which term or topic best matches the following description? A trained classmate guides practice and checks responses.

Peer tutoring Restorative approach Backward design Culturally responsive instruction

Question 7

Which example most directly illustrates Controllable attribution?

A student explains poor performance through ineffective preparation and plans a new strategy. A teacher explains a task's purpose and allows choice among suitable project topics. After repeated perceived uncontrollable failure, a student stops trying even when improvement is possible. A teacher structures practice so students can recognize improving skill.

Question 8

Match each description to its most specific topic, in the order shown. I. Caregivers demand obedience without much explanation or reciprocal discussion. II. A learner tests hypothetical relationships by controlling variables.

I: Formal operational reasoning; II: Authoritarian parenting I: Continuous development; II: Formal operational reasoning I: Authoritarian parenting; II: Formal operational reasoning I: Authoritarian parenting; II: Bronfenbrenner's exosystem

Question 9

Which statement most accurately describes Modifications?

Tiered systems provide universal support and additional intensity according to need. Teachers' expectations can influence opportunities, interactions, and sometimes achievement. Modifications change the expected content or performance standard. Academic language includes specialized vocabulary and discourse used in schooling.

Question 10

Which term or topic best matches the following description? An evaluator checks whether unfamiliar cultural assumptions distort a learner's score.

Anti-bias classroom practice Culturally sensitive assessment Bias in materials Family-school partnership
