IC vs. petersons

[snazzlefrag]

I have actually found, though, that I don't do well when "tesing" myself with the IC subject flashcards. I find the wording to be tough and there to be a lot of vocab I haven't run across in anything else I've read. Does anyone else find this to be true? Maybe not all subject are like that. I'm not very good with fill-in-the-blank, either. But perhaps the idea is not so much to know the right answer but to learn the reasons why an answer is wrong or right. I don't know - I am new at this.

Some of our members don't even bother to type an answer in the Instantcert blanks as they proceed through the various sections. It's more about knowing and understanding the concepts than memorizing the EXACT missing word. The actual exam will not test you on your knowledge of all the specific missing words from the IC cards. The questions will not be worded the same, nor will they even be presented in the same format. Remember that IC is a LEARNING device rather than a literal mock exam.

The explanation of the answer for each IC card is MUCH more important than the singular missing word. If you learn the missing words, you will only have accomplished the memorization of a few random words. If you learn, and understand, the concepts that are taught by the cards (especially in the answer explanations), you will be well on your way to being able to pass the actual exam.

Hope that helps,
