Didn't read the whole thread, you can see my writings elsewhere. I'll follow up more when I have time.
I personally would NOT exclusively 'trust' modern States education as being enough for the CLEP - I took Principles of Marketing and Principles of Management, i'm sure I would have failed Marketing and think Management would have barely passed or been around 50 had I relied on that ALONE. However I found them an excellent companion to the free clep prep guide/audio - those two together gave me A-equivalent material. I wouldn't have done FCP alone, it was the combination with Modern States that worked really well. I didn't touch any other resource besides those two and aced both! So i'm happy.
I hope to try this again with my next two, probably Sociology and English Comp - to exclusively use Modern States and FCP for my study guides, and to see how it goes. FCP seems to really have the cram'n'slam facts down but doesn't show the big picture - MS gives a nice big picture to assemble it all together in your head.
