Why aren't I learning anything with InstantCert?

CLEP and DSST exams are meant to test the knowledge equivalent to what one would learn in a semester length course. I believe those who cram using only exam prep materials are missing the point and put the whole system in jeopardy. It plays into the attitude that we are cheating the system. I am with Cory when it comes to reading a textbook. Those exams that can be passed by simply memorizing a bunch of flashcards should be eliminated. The exams should be an accurate evaluation of the knowledge equivalent to that gained in a semester length course.

I believe they've tested these on students who have completed the courses. A passing score is what a "C" student would make. Students often forget most of what they've learned in a course soon after it's over.
