Hello all. Fresh, academic-wanna-be meat here!
Just yesterday I signed up for IC. I picked a course, picked a flashcard set and got started. I had to go over and over the cards many times but I went from a 20% score yesterday to an 88% score today. The information was overwhelming at first, looking up some videos and lectures on youtube helped me to cement some concepts visually into my head.
It is my understanding that the flashcards hit the main points only. I definitely want a deeper understanding of the material than just "only what's important for the test". I think if I really focus on the cards and get that information cemented then I will be prepared to actually study the material more thoroughly. I wasn't sure about IC at first, but I think if I stick with it then it might help me greatly.
I'm just going to keep going through the sets for a couple clep subjects:-) In a week or two we'll see how I do on a practice test:-)
Wish me luck!
