InstantCert - American Government - JScottTuck - 10-20-2021
Hello,
I signed up for the American Government InstantCert. Has anyone signed up for this and passed the test? Unless I am missing something, the course only includes 300-400 flashcards, and no other resources. This seems pretty light, and I'm guessing the exam will include more material. I decided to go over to the Modern States course and check out the practice tests there, and so far, the questions seem vastly different than what I see on InstantCert.
I'm feeling like InstantCert may be a waste of money, but I'm hoping someone can tell me otherwise, since it seems to be highly recommended here.

I just took US History 1 this past Sunday 11/7/2021. using Modern States and Instantcert solely. I scored a 60 with plenty of time left before this test officially ended. You'll be fine with just these two resources and pass your exam. Keep in mind, you only need a 50 on most CLEP exams to receive college credit. Good luck.

The military pass rate for American Government CLEP is only 25% so you will fail if you don't study properly.
I used Modern States, InstanCert, Quizlet, and Peterson's AP U.S. Government and Politics.
AP and CLEP are similar, I didn't think it mattered the difference. The Peterson included around an 80-page study guide and 3 practice tests. Once you can score 70% on the practice test, you can pass the CLEP easily.
I got 68 on the exam.

If you're going to UMPI, the American Gov't course POS 101 can be taken in one day or a few hours. You can answer a few questions to test your knowledge and skip over much of the course. The final is a 1500 word essay on your political views on any two topics. I really enjoyed the course.
