Depends on your learning style. If you are impatient and just want to know/study what you have to know. Get the outline and the breakdown in percentages on what's the most important things to test. Then do a "dry run" (no studying) of the test…taking your best guess in the largest weighted sections. If you are pretty good at those larger weighted sections you are probably going to pass. Then do a "dry run" of the lesser weighted sections. Once you are done with all the tests. take note of the percentages in each category and study those areas more intensely. I usually give myself about a week to study then go back and hit all the tests again.
InstantCert works because it's picky about your wording. You might have the right answer, but the word might not be exactly what they are looking for. The more you do the flashcards, the more the answer they are looking for is seared into your mind. For example, an instant vert question might be….What colors is the sky on a sunny day?
And you answer "Pale Blue" but they want "sky blue" or "baby blue". After you do 2-3 runs through the cards you will have the right answers cemented in your mind. If you have no patience for this method or are short on time you can just click through the flashcards and read and answers and rational the first time…try to remember what you need work in and use a traditional textbook or web resource to study. In short…only study what you really NEED to know…not the stuff you are already comfortable with.
Hope this helps

Does everyone generally type out each section and study that way using IC? Or is it best ot just keep reading through each section and doing Peterosn practice tests etc as opposed to spending all that time typing the questions out from IC?
Thanks.
