Passing Saylor.org courses with InstantCert? - TinHead - 03-03-2015
Hey all,
I am wanting to take the following courses with Saylor.org to save money on testing fees:
Principles of Marketing
Business Law and Ethics
Principles of Management
All of these courses seem to have an equivalency on InstantCert but I am just wondering if anybody has taken them and if they will be sufficient (along with other resources) to pass the exams?
I am also going to take:
Corporate Communications
Western Political Thought
...and I am just wondering if there would be any InstantCert courses that would assist in improving my odds of passing these final exams?
Thanks in advance

Saylor course exams are very specific to their course content. I don't know if IC would help or not, but you will need to study the Saylor course content as your primary study source. Some of the Saylor exams reference their textbook content in their questions. One of the Saylor exams I took also referenced a shorter article and a video lecture in its questions. IC may help with a few of the questions, but it's not enough to get you a passing score all by itself, the way it does with other exams. If I hadn't studied the Saylor materials, then I don't think I would have passed.
