That said, does any one have opinions on one publisher over another? Obviously, it would be nice to find consistent material.
For my path, I have 11 CLEPS and 13 Dantes to do.
Suggestions?
Thanks

Hi John - Welcome to the IC Group!!
In essence IC is about as "simple" as you put it in terms of one stop shopping for most if not all of your exam needs.
However, when trying to apply that same formula to other study sources you will probably best be able to find some reviews and such for many of them either through Amazon, by reviewing some of the specific topic threads here, or start a new one. Each book can be as varied as the exam itself and some come closer to the target than others.
One thing is certain though - you CANNOT go wrong with using IC as your primary source of study material.
GOOD LUCK!!!!
