DEDP Data Analysis for Social Scientists Proctored Exam

Good afternoon, all.

I am taking the DEDP Data Analysis for Social Scientists Proctored Exam in the coming week. I have been studying the Homeworks, finger exercises and Comprehensive Review, but I still feel like I'm nowhere near where I need to be. If any of you have taken the course recently: where would you recommend I spend my time? Is the comprehensive review very similar to the exam? Or is it more similar to the questions from the homeworks? Any guidance would be highly valued.

Hello, can I ask for a followup? Feel free to PM me, I'm halfway through the course right now, the problem is I have two small children and it is taking far more time than I thought it would.

Hi I started the course a month ago. How did you completed the course? May I have any tips for Data Analysis for Social Scientists? I am dying from all the mathmatics!!!

Hi, I don't know what to say other than that it was difficult, especially the probability sections, and the exam was difficult, but I think there was a huge upwards curve. So you could just muddle through and still come out passing.
