American Government at InstantCert HELP!! - mt_1994 - 04-19-2023
Guys Im struggling to understand the interface. I want to take the american government course but i signed up paid the $15 membership fee. When i login it tells me to choose a study guide or pick a course and when I pick American Government it sends me to some flash cards and that it. Nothing else.

on this link https://www.instantcert.com/articles/article-InstantCREDIT-Courses
it says
"Our InstantCREDIT courses have been retired and are no longer available as of January 1, 2023. "
The stuff they have is for Clep (and DSST) prep "We will continue to offer CLEP and DSST exam study guides. If you are studying for a CLEP or DSST exam....."
I used some of the clep prep flashcards for some clep exams and found those helpful.
Best alternative for American Government - mt_1994 - 04-19-2023
Where can I take it? It's my understanding that instantcertcredit.com isn't offering this anymore. So, what are my options now?
RE: Best alternative for American Government - rachel83az - 04-19-2023
You can contact Sophia to ask when their American Government class will go live. It should transfer to TESU, but we don't have any promises. The ACE page is here: https://www.acenet.edu/National-Guide/Pages/Course.aspx?org=SOPHIA+Learning%2c+LLC&cid=fc97db0f-afc8-ed11-b597-00224805f697&oid=76099b28-9016-e811-810f-5065f38bf0e1 It should be live any day now.
You can take Political Science 103: Comparative Politics at SDC. Like Sophia, it will have both assignments/papers and quizzes.
Take either POLSC201: Intro to Western Political Thought or POLSC221: Introduction to Comparative Politics from Saylor. These are exam-only.

If you can wait and don't mind assignments/papers in addition to the quizzes, the Sophia.org option may be your ticket or if you need it right now, you can take it at Study.com instead. Having said that, if you're looking to get this done quickly and by exam, CLEP through ModernStates.org is free if you use their voucher and reimbursement for the exam. Your other option is the $5 Saylor exams, all of these can be done at the comfort of home.
Last but not least, it's best to create a spreadsheet and post the link to your google or one drive, make the file viewable and not editable, we can provide recommendations for the remainder of your courses. That would be much more effective/efficient than creating a post for each course, you'll have 40 threads/posts vs one thread. Furthermore, it may be easier/faster concentrating on a provider at a time, cheaper too as you don't have to pay for another subscription.

There's also the American Government CLEP exam.
RE: Best alternative for American Government - studyingfortests - 04-20-2023
I used the CLEP exam, and the ModernStates.org prep for it, to complete my TESU government requirement.
If you use ModernStates, the prep is free, and they give you a voucher that will pay for the exam *and* cover your proctor fees, so the credits are *completely* free.
I did also spend a little time with the Quizlet flash card deck for CLEP prep.
The test was not very difficult, and between ModernStates and Quizlet, I felt well prepared. It was simple, easy, did the job. So that would be a good option. So would Sophia.

Does anyone know when American government will be available to take on Sophia? I’d rather take that than a poli sci course on SDC but I can’t wait anymore. It’s one of my last 2 classes left to take.
RE: American Government - rachel83az - 04-22-2023
Have you tried contacting Sophia's support to ask them? Gotta wait until tomorrow, though.
