is ic reliable as only means to pass clep? - dina - 06-04-2007
Anyone know if it is enough to rely on instant cert for a clep without a textbook, any other sites can help me.
I am taking western civ. 2 on wednesday and only doing instantcert

I think it really depends on the exam. For some exams, yes...IC is certainly enough. For others, no it is not. Western Civ II.........that's a tough one. Simply put, I don't think it's enough for this exam, although...I would recommend Sparknotes.com, Wikipedia.
Here's another link that seems to be pretty credible:
Internet Modern History Sourcebook: Main Page
I hope this helps.

While I have not taken it, from all the posts, it does look like a very challenging exam. In the exam feedback section, there are four different posts from people who have taken it; please follow this link: http://www.instantcertonline.com/forums/specific-exam-feedback-only/1568-western-civilization-ii-1648-present-clep.html
If I were you I would postpone the test until I studied thoroughly from the suggestions in these posts, took some practice tests, and had more confidence in my preparation.
Please use the search function, I know there have been many different discussions concerning this test over the last year; they are sure to add more information. Good luck and let us know what you decide to do. Lee
