I gave this test today and scored 57.The test is a difficult one.I have a good knowledge of computers, had 10 days to prepare for the test, used Instant Cert and Wikipedia(thank god!). One has to have more knowledge of Information System concepts, KBS, DSS, Groupware, Expert Systems, file extensions, Network devices, Hardware, GPS, Database concepts etc..
IC only defines these topics...and thats all! But for the test one needs to know more than just that.(Thank god!! i had used wiki or would have failed for sure)PLZZZ do not just rely on IC!!! Use Wikipedia to understand(in detail) all the concepts mentioned in the "Knowledge and Skills Required" page of CLEP website.
Very disappointed with IC! they should either remove this test from the course list or update it!
And NO! the 'fill in the blanks' format does not help, the objective format on the real test is very confusing, the students should be prepared for that too!
