All I can say is Holy _#*^!!!. Instant Cert is a good foundation but falls short for this exam. Even the ECE practice exams which I scored 69 and 78 on a week prior to the exam..with much study afterwards was nothing compared to the exam, IMO were insufficient . I studied IC and the Practice exams til I knew them inside and out. Seems like the actual exam was taken to a whole new level. Now I'm hoping for a "C" so I won't have to kick in Word Population as a backup. It will be a long painful week until I get the results. Oh well, not much I can do about it now. At this point I cant even give good pointers my brain is fried.

Well that sounds like a bear of a test, hopefully you did better than you thought you did. Hoprefully the week goes fast for you, and you get good news. I sort of thought that since these were given at Pearson test centers they would be computerized, but I guess not. As you can tell I have not taken and ECE tests yet. I was planning on taking this one after macro & micro economics and world religions, so any hints you could pass on would be appreciated.
Does anyone know if the Dantes version is an easier exam?

Thanks for the feedback!! This will be great info for when I take this one. I'm going to post this in the Specific Exam Feedback section so others will benefit.

I took the Org Behavior ECE about a week ago, and I agree - its a pretty intense exam. InstantCert would not have been enough for me. I used InstantCert plus both of the recommended textbooks.
chosin01 - I expect your score will be higher than you think, so don't give up hope! My score ended up much better than I expected.
jec959 - I hear that the DSST is easier, but I have not taken it. I decided on the ECE because I needed upper level credit. The DSST is lower level.
