I used istudysmart for prep on ECE History of Nazi Germany. Excelsior was a couple of months away from discontinuing the exam, and Istudysmart was having a sale on the "study package" so I bought it. I felt I needed some good prep, because this test was in multiple extended essay format, and the last time I wrote an essay for a test was in the late 80's.
For $99 bucks (I don't know what it was normally, maybe $150?) I got two textbooks and a workbook that had definitions, and about 500 objectives to look up. Every thing flowed with the ECE exam content guide (which I think is vague in giving directed study). Also, the workbook listed which page number in each book the answer could be found, so it made the work of filling it all in a little easier. Overall, I am happy with the product, and I think I got a good deal on it. But for what the are asking for the other packages for ECE, Dantes and Clep multiple guess exams, I think they are a little overpriced.
