Does InstantCert Only have flashcards?

bmad86 Wrote:I was able to cancel the test and not lose my money. I started a business program three months ago and found out that I needed to get 25 elective hours out of the way. I have gotten 12 of those knocked out. I'm not sure why, but these elective hours are weighing on me. I know the business program is going to get hard as I move along, and it would be great to have these done as quickly as possible. Does anyone have a study guide for this subject? Per the documentation from my counselor, 270 people have taken this exam, and 252 passed. I felt very confident about those odds using very little study until I read the feedback on the forum. I am trying to target easy CLEP and DSST exams. I took the A&I CLEP with very little studying and passed. I was hoping for the same on this one.

Okay, the A&I Lit CLEP is consistently ranked in the top two if not easiest test of all on Instantcert. I trust the advice of the folks on here, especially the more experienced people I have come to know as cyber friends over the last year. You can tell who the most senior people are by their ranking in the left, just like the feudal system! LOL! Anyway, oddly the rank for A&I L CLEP has fallen to the second level on Free CLEP prep.com??? Strange. I thought it was easy. Are you taking Principals of Supervision? If yes, that's the easiest DSST according to Free CLEP Prep. Check the exam specific feedback on here and see what people are saying. Pof S DSST, has a pretty easy rating (see ratings below from Free Clep Prep.com to answer your question about easy tests). However "easy" is really relative to the person taking the test. For example I am a nurse and I can tell you every bone of the 206 in your body is and explain how the molecular weight of chemo/radiation drugs affect your body and how long they will still 'live' in your body...so BIO CLEP was a pretty easy exam for me. But it might not be for you. On the other hand, while I am good with concrate and chemical data, I am terrible at abstract math and remembering all the weird rules for zillions of different problems. So you might kick my butt in CLEP College Math. So what people are telling me is going to be easy, I am not feeling it today. The same could be true for you. So here's my very best advice to give you confidence when picking your exams.

1. Go with what you already know/like to study that will could towards your degree first. Check out the exams that you think will be easy for you naturally. Taking the easy tests first will give you confidence as you put test by test behind you and your degree gets closer and closer.
2. Check out the Free Clep Prep take on which exams are the easiest and ask yourself if any of then stand out to you as "yeah, I could do that!"
3. Go to the section on this website and look at the exam "specific feedback" as well as the recent test scores and see what people are passing and giving good (as well as bad) feedback on.
4. Take one of the "Free" tests from Free Clep Prep.com and see how you do. They have DSST's too. If you have a few bucks, I prefer to take my first totally raw test from the actual Official College Board CLEP book and see how I would do. You can pick up an official college CLEP study guide for few dollars on eBay. If you score less than 50%, then you know you are going to have to study, so if speed is your gig, do the exams you score the best on naturally. You will have a good idea if it's the right test for you and spend a hour or hour and a half taking a practice test and come out with a 70 the first time. If you do that...book your test (but not the next day!!!! more like at least a week!). Anyway hitting a 70 on the official CLEP raw, its likely you will pass. Taking that hour and a half as a gauge, could save your self MANY hours of study on a subject you thought might be easy but found it was not at all what you thought.

Here's a list of what Free CLEP prep thinks the difficultly level of the tests are:
DSST Difficulty List - Free-Clep-Prep.com

Clep Difficulty List - Free-Clep-Prep.com

I think it was mentioned the exam you were going to take was Principals of Supervision?

If you want to try to take the quiz on Free CLEP prep and see how you would have done if you took the test, that might make you feel better about taking it again soon Smile In any case, you have a lot of tools in your tackle box to take on any of these exams. Infants don't pop out of the womb running in the NYC marathon. I have never seen a 3 year old run a marathon yet either. It takes time to learn to work with what you have and know which resources will work for you. But you are HERE and that's awesome. You start every great journey with one small step.

Can't wait to read your post when you pass this exam!
