Even if it doesn't cover every subject verbatim if it allows you to make educated guesses it's been a valuable tool. I took the test after a few days of studying IC (and with no humanities background) and passed with a 60+.

It covered alot that was on the InstantCert flash cards, and a lot that wasn't (I'm not including anything I know was covered by InstantCert, but that I forgot enough of to utilize). Offhand, I only remember something on Medea, grouping of various people by their occupation (composer, author, painter of style X, etc). I'm not entirely sure if I hadn't already possessed a fairly decent background in humanities, I would have been able to pass the test (I got a 67) based solely on the InstantCert material. What are people's thoughts on this?

uhhhhh.....first, that a score of 67 kicks butt. Second, a score of 50, 67, or 80, all award 6 credits.

I agree with you on that Cookderosa!!! Couldn't have said it better myself. And as our good friend ShotoJuku says, "A pass is a pass!!!"

Now that's inspiring. I have ZERO background in Humanities and just wanted to use something that helps me pass. If passing is 50, I don't care if I pass with a 51..I just want to pass!
I realize this thread is old, but just had to comment that this is motivating.
