Humanities instant cert, half wasn't on test - 2coolsexa - 01-13-2010
I took the test and passed with 58.
However, I guessed most of the test. Half of the test instant cert helped me with. The other half was not on instant cert, I barely got by.
You are going to have to supplement your studying with something else if you want to pass.

Yes, as good (GREAT) as IC is, you may indeed need to supplement your study and just how you do study. Here is some well grounded (success proven) suggestions.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="Navy"][SIZE="3"]Study Time: How I Did Itâ¦[/SIZE]
Pre-Study-Prep: Obtain or set up whatever materials I will need to study (IC Flashcards, REA Books, Standard Deviants Videos, Pass-Your-Class Guides, and Petersons Practice Exams.
Week One: Begin to read books, review flashcards, watch videos. Call your test center and make an appointment in advance as they sometimes require a few weeks advance notice)
Week Two: Re-read books, review flashcards, watch videos Take 1-2 practice exams
Week Three: Continue to review all materials, take additional/final practice exams. You should be passing these with room to spare. Take real exam at end of the week and PASS.
Note you should have at this point already acquired pre-study-prep materials for your next exam so as not to waste time.[/COLOR]

Thanks Shoto,

Remember that a pass is a pass. 50 is passing--you got a 58/80, which means you passed by a healthy margin after using only our materials. If you want to instantly recognize every answer on the test and pull off a high score, then yes, please supplement our materials, but based on your experience, it looks like the IC flashcards did exactly what they're meant to do--get you a passing score.
