I used SpeedyPrep for all my CLEPs. I didn't have IC then so I can't compare the two as CLEP prep but I loved SP. Very helpful for the tests I used it for

I used Speedy Prep a while ago for the Analyzing and Interpreting Lit. exam because IC doesn't have it. (The A&I doesn't really need a study source...I just wanted to have some practice reading.) Personally, I didn't like it as much as IC for a couple of reasons. One was the fact that if you accidentally misspelled a word, it was counted as wrong. (Most of the IC flashcards allow you a way to say a word was correct, even if it was misspelled. This is especially helpful for long, technical words!) But I don't whether or not that aspect has been changed. Also, I didn't like how I had to repeat the flashcards so many times in order to get to 100%. On IC, I just go over as many times as I need until I feel ready. Of course, with SpeedyPrep you don't HAVE to get to 100%, you are allowed to go on, but it was a little irritating to feel ready to go on but the score bar didn't say that I was.
Of course, others, like Westerner, have used it and loved it. Everyone has their own preferences in studying.

I just counted how many times I went through the set and drilled till I felt ready. And yes, IC is more forgiving of spelling

Westerner Wrote:I know what you mean about the progress bar Oh, good! I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way! For me, it just feels better to see that 100% mark. But it looks like you got excellent scores on your tests! And the IC spelling feature is helpful for technical terms, and also if you are so excited you know the answer that you type it quickly and forget to double check that you spelled it correctly before you hit "Enter."
