I was very disappointed with the test and information given on Instacert. I don't feel like I was adequetly prepared for this test.

I share in your disappointment in not passing your exam; I've been there myself. One can agonize over it for many hours, days, weeks, etcetera, or get over it just as quickly with a new resolve, a new outlook and a new plan.
IC will get you through just about anything, but.....it really is up to us (the examinee) to make sure that we are ready. Sure IC is great but ample study time, secondary resources and taking practice exams is one sure fire way of passing (99% of the time).
BTW: REA has new books out on WC1 & WC2 should you wish to try it again. In any event, keep looking forward, shake it off, and get back in the game - I wish you well!!
