I just took it a few weeks back, and scored 78 using mostly IC flashcards. The only work I did of the Saylor course material was I watched a few (prolly 6-7) of their KhanAcademy videos. In the end though, IC covers a whole lot more material than the Saylor test covers...and so do all those KA videos. For the Saylor Biology exam, the practice test is almost _exactly_ the same as the proctored test. So my advice would be to just take the practice test and study what you get wrong on the test.
TinHead Wrote:Has anybody taken it? I just signed up and after looking over all the materials it seems like I would be better suited not watching/reading everything they suggest (as it looks like so much more than is needed) but I don't know if I would be making a mistake doing that.
I have taken 3 exams via Saylor.org now (Marketing, Management and Intro to Business Law) and passed the marketing exam with only InstantCert but when i tried to do that again, that wasn't sufficient to pass the management exam. On the management exam there were specific questions from the readings (ie: What did so-and-so think of *blank*) so I got a 62% when 70% was a pass.
I also didn't pass the law exam (66% when 70% was a pass) but I made sure to read everything but it was my fault that I didn't give myself sufficient time to re-read some of the material.
So what I am asking is if anybody has any experience with the Biology course (BIO101B: Introduction to Molecular and Cellular Biology | Saylor Academy) and if InstantCert would be sufficient to pass this exam? Or should I make sure to read/watch all the materials?
Thanks
