I only took the History and Systems of Psych exam through them (technically Coopersmith Career Consulting, not Tor, I guess that partnership ended), and I wouldn't recommend it.
They provided a "study guide" which was just a PDF that told me to read a 500 page textbook cover to cover, and included a poorly developed slideshow that just kind of bulleted out some headlines with brief commentary, none of it in depth enough to really help with the exam.
The exam focused on trivia as opposed to understanding concepts (think "who was the president of the APA in 19xx?" type questions), and I don't have a mind for history/trivia if it doesn't relate to actually understanding the significance of the topic.
I passed the exam just fine, to my surprise, but if I had to do it all over again, I'd pay more money to avoid that setup. I'd probably pay the $500 to take the independent study course offered by CSU Pueblo.
