Hi everyone,
I did not know about this site until today, which is when I was scheduled to take the Intro to Computing DSST exam, which I'd prepared for with istudysmart.com's materials. I won't know for sure for another week or so as it was pencil/paper exam, but I'm pretty sure that I did not pass. I knew 95% of the above terms but there were many problems dealing with integers and programming computations that were not covered in my materials from istudysmart.com. Will this site help me to not fail any more exams?! I've taken in the past:
Microbiology
Anatomy and Physiology
Psychology
Sociology
Here's to your Health
Drug and Alcohol Abuse
Gerontology
and all the Nursing exams from Excelsior College (6 exams).
and had great results the first time. I only need about 12 more hours and then I'll finish a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, so this failing this exam is a real bummer!
Trying to navigate this site is not easy for a newbie, as I've yet to find where the actual study sections are for the various exams. I've emailed the webmaster, but any help is appreciated!!
Thanks, CathyV3b

The flashcards everyone's talking about are available via a subscription to instantcert. You can subscribe by going to InstantCert.com: Prospective Students
There are no guaranteed ways to pass exams--a lot of it depends on your own aptitude, test taking skills, and study habits. However, a lot of members have successfully used InstantCert as a primary means of preparation for these tests.
If you know what test you're going to take next, then use the 'search' function at the top to see what users have said about that test, what kind of scores they achieved, etc..
By the way--I never received an email from you. Perhaps you sent it to the wrong address?
