Hey,
Im studying for the Us History II and Natural Sciences Clep.
Does anyone have any study material for the above tests?
On a scale of 1-10 (10 being great) is the $20 for Instacert worth it?
Im a broke college student (freshman) and I only want it if It will really really help. Howw easy is it to use?
OH is the $20 for all their study material or for ONE clep test study material?

It's for the month, for all the study material. I would say IC is a 10 cost wise.
Good luck,
Doug

I second that statement. IC is definitely a 10 on a cost-to-benefit ratio. $20 a month, and if you find yourself unable to use it they provide a refund for the first month. Something like that anyways.

You don't have to pay anything to be here. The $20/mo is for the flash card program and totally optional. No one here knows who is and isn't a subscriber, there isn't any stigma or weirdness if you do or don't use them.
In my siggy line is a link for the pass rate here- most people here buy IC. I passed all but 1 of my exams (roughly half my degree) buy using help from people here, free internet resources, free/found textbooks, and a few REA guides. The BEST resource here is free- the Specific Exam Feedback section. I tried IC for one month, and I didn't find it to work well with my style- I'm more of a book/paper person (LOL I'm old) but anyone here will tell you that being here-asking questions-using the search feature are ALL keys to your success. I believe this to be the best testing-out resource on the entire web hands down (and I spend a lot of time looking).
