Easiest Exams-Everybody List Exams Taken with a 60+ Score Using Only InstantCert
Sorry for the idiotic question but is studying from Instant Cert ALONE actually worth the risk? Examinations which I am talking about are DSST's only.

I have now taken and passed 6 exams using only InstantCert. Money & Banking DSST, Ethics in America DSST, Sociology CLEP, US History I CLEP, Ethics in America DSST and Intro to Computing DSST.

Background in Macro and Micro economics did help with Money and Banking, however since external resources on money and baking were limited I depended pretty much entirely on InstantCert AND the FORUM for specific exam feedback. Lots of great study tips on the forum for this test.

Passed DSST Introduction to computing today with a 474. It was by far the EASIEST test I've taken. IC Flashcards were fantastic preparation for this exam.

I also passed DSST Ethics in America with a 465. There are a LOT of IC flashcards to prepare for this exam, but I felt extremely well prepared. Trust the IC flashcards and go through ALL of them! The study preparation seemed difficult, the test seemed medium in difficulty.

I took this test today and failed miserably. I scored a 39 on the CLEP, granted, I ran out of time and left 14 questions unanswered. I am scheduled to take Principles of Management but too scared now. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'm sorry you hit this bump in the journey!

Some tips:
Keep at it until you find the best way to study that works for you.
It is easier to overstudy to get the hang of this process and cut back later.
Supplement the flashcards with study guides, like REA, videos, websites, and practice tests.
Delay the exam, if you need to, until you are really ready for it.
Never leave any questions blank; there is no penalty for wrong answers.

I'm sure you'll have a better experience next time!

I passed the Human Resource Management DSST with 64 using primarily InstantCert Flashcards, the only other study resource I used was the study guide posted in the specific exam feedback section for members. It was not as easy as the Introduction to Computers DSST, but it was pretty straightforward.

Hi,

I noticed that you are working on your BSBA with Tesc; I am also in the same program general management, would you happen to have any suggestions on a easy test option to fulfill the "Area of Study" for general management? I have already met the 12 credit 300/400 level requirement for this area, so I am looking for an easy 100/200 level option for the area of study to complete my degree. Thank you so very much for your time.

I used IC for my "Public Relations Thought and Practice" TECEP exam. My score was a 73. Needing a humanities course, I decided to try this TECEP. My background is health science and nursing; therefore, a business major's test for a humanities' course was a challenge to take. Using IC flash cards for 7 to 10 days, I did pass the public relations' test. Although it was not with flying colors, I did pass and receive the 3 credits. Please note that after I took the test, I found several public relations' supplemental online tests. Although other multiple choice tests are available through various search engines, I would still purchase IC's flashcards. The flashcards allowed me to pass the finish line.
