Help with American Government
#1
I'm going to be attending UMPI.
I started this course on IC and I hate it. I am up to exam 3 and doing so bad and it doesn't tell you what you got wrong which makes it impossible to study and review. So! Any other places I can take this? I know IC is cheaper than SL but does SL actually review what you did wrong? Is it easier? I also have to do my SDC biology so should I take it there instead when I do biology?  Should I just do it at UMPI (although I'm already up to 12-14 so I don't really wanna add another class) 
I just need other options because I doubt I'm going to pass this class on IC and I want to get it done.
Thank you 
K bye

Is there a reason you aren't doing it with ModernStates.org, which prepares you for the CLEP? Entirely free (they even pay for the CLEP exam), the quizzes and final test prepare you for the exam, and you get video and written lecture transcripts. I took that route and passed with no problem.

No. I mean thru research on here and what others have said I was told to do it thru IC. Does UMPI accent Modern States? I wanted to do Modern States English too so if UMPI accepts modern states that would be awesome

No, they won't take ModernStates courses. It is neither an ACE provider nor an accredited college/university. ModernStates basically pays for your CLEP exam and also reimburses proctoring fees.
This is how it works: you take a course with ModernStates, pass it, apply for exam voucher. Then you go and take CLEP using that voucher to pay for exam.

You can take it UMPI. It's a short, easy class. The Final Assessment was a short essay when I took it.

I took American Government at SDC. The course is very easy and straightforward. I spent 1 day working on it. There are short quizzes and a final exam. To put things in prospective - I am an immigrant, so I did not have a lot of prior knowledge, only knew some basic stuff when I started.

Oh! I see. I don't know anything about online classes or CLEP.. I'm learning as I go. Thank you.

I'm an American and still don't have a lot of knowledge of it! Hahaha But thanks for your reply... : ) I'm considering doing it thru SDC

If you already have to do a course through Study.com, you may as well take that course there, since you're paying for 2 courses anyway. That's what I'd do.

CLEP/ModernStates would be a last resort, since it will take as much time or more than Study.com, and it's not considered one of the easier CLEP exams.
