In my opinion, using tried and true study resources is the best bet. Spreading your studying too WIDE is actually a problem sometimes. These are 100/200 level courses with very consistent and targeted requirements, you don't need to know "everything" instead you need to know the basics thoroughly. In fact, if you're studying too WIDE, it doesn't allow you to zero in on the depth of basics, which can be a problem. (I understood this much better after my one and only fail- the Civil War exam- I did exactly what I'm suggesting you don't do. I watched every movie, read wiki like crazy, watched the annenberg series, etc. Too wide. I needed to memorize dates/places/names. Not rocket science)
This forum is not fly-by-night, it's been around a long time, and the pass rate of members here is astonishing- upwards of 90%. No disrespect to free-clep-prep, because I know that person was (is?) a member here, but unless you have the time and money to try a bunch of sources, I'd stick with what works. Just my two cents.
This forum + REA books (if you want more) + Peterson's practice tests (if you want practice tests) = all you need.
