Western Civilization II CLEP - How helpful is InstantCert?

[dfb8084]

I have finished my bachelor's but need to fulfill a deficit in Western Civilization to move forward with my next degree program. They will accept the Western Civ CLEPs. I only need one, and I have decided to take Western Civ II as I am more familiar with the material, although I am far from an expert.

I had great success with InstantCert and will gladly sign up again, but since I just need one exam, I would like to know how helpful the material is. I would check the Exam Specific feedback, but I would have to subscribe just to look at it (even though I contributed a lot to it when I was a member in the past -- but that's another story).

I did a search and found mixed reviews of the flashcards, but no real indication of the value of the material in the Exam Specific feedback. So I have two questions:

1. How helpful are the InstantCert flashcards for Western Civ II?
2. Is there any really helpful information in the Exam Specific feedback?

Like I said, I'll re-subscribe in a heartbeat if there's enough there to make it worth the money.

Thanks very much.

1) It is helpful. the thing with instantcert is that you are basically reading passages that you have to be able to apply to differently worded questions.

I passed with a 67, and I used only instantcert and the REA book.

2) The exam specific forum is pretty helpful if you ask me. They provide a link to a college professor's online classes that teach this subject as well.

Civ I is much, much easier than Civ II.
