...while studying the Am Govt CLEP, which I took in February. I actually registered and gained access, only to find it wasn't going to be at all helpful. It's essentially a standard online course, complete with assignments you're expected to do, and -- worse -- it seems to be aimed at more of a "citizenship" angle than an "academic" angle. So two strikes against it: Too time-consuming and not enough of the right information/presentation. For me, Cliffs Notes and InstantCert more than did the trick, and with very little fuss.
