Instantcert College Math Study Guide Reviews
|
Instantcert or Instacert academy is a completely online study guide. Their math CLEP study guide is one of their most thorough with around 500 practice questions. One of the unique things about instantcert’s system is that when you answer the questions they give you a detailed explanation of why you were right or wrong. This can help you learn from your mistakes faster then just a simple wrong or right answer sheet. Once you have signed up with instantcert you get access to all of their CLEP study guides. This is great if you are planning to study for more then one CLEP exam. |

Pros: Well laid out and concise Cons: Take the time to properly study or they won't work, not a con, it's a fact |
I knocked out 67 credits (30 of which were upper level) in 7 months using IC. The guides are spot on and the way the information is taught really helped me to apply it towards the test. You will have to study the material and put forth the effort to retain it; it will not take the test for you. If you use the information in these guides, you will pass the tests, I am living proof that they work.

Pros: wonderful content, informative forums Cons: Can't learn by osmosis. |
I love this site...it's absolutely invaluable on my journey. The flashcards are a great prep tool. In so many cases, they're all you need to pass an exam. For others, InstantCert works well to reinforce what one may have studied from another source.

Pros: Great Content...Excellent Source of Topic Information Cons: None |
I have used IC to pass several DANTES, CLEPS, and Excelsior exams. IC flashcards provide the knowledge necessary to pass your exam. For those expecting IC to have the exact exam questions, you are wrong. IC gives you the knowledge and the background after studying the questions and the answers to select the correct solution on the exam. I have learned more from IC flashcards than I have by taking online courses. Best source on the net!

Pros: Method really works + don't miss the forum! Cons: none |
Normally not a reviewer, I almost feel an obligation to InstantCert to stand up here, as I owe most of my exam results to it. The name is a bit misleading, this is in no way a short cut in terms of learning, you truly pick up a great deal of knowledge here. I see it more as an interactive work book with built-in rehearsal, a way of stuffing you without the effort of endless reading. It's like a game but when you're done you suddenly grasp it. The biggest benefit is for the people who find it hard to concentrate when reading dire textbooks, which I would assume applies to most of us. In fact, when I'm considering a new exam, I now start by looking if it's available on IC.

Pros: Best Bang for the Buck |
I started using I.C. in January 2007. I spent $20 per month for the past five months = $100 Here's my results: 30 credits (CLEP) 6 credits (DSST) (That's only $2.78 per credit hour) The Forum is an invaluable tool to get additional help for study methods and test taking skills.

Pros: Access To All Exam Material Cons: none |
Great, I wish I would have found these guys first before wasting money on others. I have passed my last 4 Cleps and 2 dantes in about a month using these guys.

Pros: Great For Studying multiple exams |
I have taken five exams using this study guide only. ..passed all five. Iam taking my sixth exam this week. I have been taking one a week. Be careful and read all the info they list along with the fill-in the blank answer format!!!

I thought it was very good, I got a 62 on the Mangement and a 50 on the Marketing. I would have done better on the Marketing if I studied a bit longer.

Pros: Easy to use Cons: Not that helpful |
I used them to study for the american government test and did not find it to be at all helpful.

Have to say this site is a great way to study for your exams. I used this site for a month before writing a humanities CLEP and had no troubles passing it.

I used this study guide for american government and didn't pass. I have the feeling that amer gov is not one to use from this site. I studied sociology from here and passed with no problems. I did study alot though

Cons: Different Questions Then Exam |
I paid for this site when taking the Western Civ. 2 test, and even though the study questions were great, the actual test was far more specific than the study guide and questions. I was let down.

Pros: Supportive forum |
US History 1, Social Sciences & History, US History 2, American Government, Humanities, Educational Psychology, Human Growth & Development, Intro Psychology, Intro to Sociology, College Math. These are all of the CLEPs that I passed using Instant Cert. I passed them in seven months. That's a total of 39 credits. I don't think that I would have understand just what I was capable of if I didn't have Instant Cert and the great forum of supportive people that had similar goals.

Pros: Very effective study aid, reasonable price, and great forum! Cons: none |
I've now studied for and passed close to 20 Clep, Dsst, and ECE exams all with the help of Instantcert. With their help I will complete over three years of college in eighteen months. That's while working full-time and taking care of family obligations at the same time.

Pros: Very useful--invaluable resource |
I have used this for 7-8 CLEP tests and found it EXTREMELY helpful (including for American Gov't exam and Westen Civ., that others users have posted disappointed comments about). While I have found that a few topics need additonal "background" supplementation from a textbook, I can tell you that the textbook alone would not have enabled me to pass some of these tests. Instantcert has made a huge impact on my knowledge, ability, and confidence. I don't even attempt a CLEP without it now. I have scored a 64 or higher on all my CLEPs and am convinced that this due to Instantcert. For just $20 a month, this is definitely well-worth your investment. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
