I'm posting this to see if anyone else on here has experienced the same...
I'm thinking that maybe InstaCert needs to update their flashcards to be more current with the CLEPs today. Anyone else here feel the same way? I've taken College Math, College Algebra, Intro Psych, and Intro Socio, and scored 90's on IC each time like they recommend, but with each test, there were an average of 25 questions that were 100% random guesses from me because they weren't even touched with IC. For College Algebra, I actually scored 100 many times on all the flashcards, so I was never more confident, but my CLEP score was 49! It was almost completely different material. I've been scoring in the very low 50's and (sometimes 60's) on the other CLEP's, even though I can practically recite all the IC information, half of which isn't even covered on the CLEP!
The only exception is A&I Lit; that one was very straightforward and much in line with IC. Obviously I haven't taken a whole ton of CLEP's, so I'm not an authority on this. But it def has left me with much less confidence taking these CLEPs :/
Some kind soul should make a list of which study helps to use for which clep and dsst...unless this has prolly already been done?
