I was wondering if anyone has ever heard of this site that has study guides. It looked like the guides there might be okay but seems a little pricey.
I was thinking about the one for Statistics.

Chancellor's Learning Systems | Study Guides

OMG, $345 per study guide!!!! stay far away from this, you are better off just using ic. IC works and it is way cheaper.

It is probably good information, but I don't think that I could spend $345 for a study guide.

I think the "Chancellor" is getting rich off of others' hopes and dreams.

In my opinion, InstantCert provides a great foundation for the concepts you need to pass an exam. Also, for only $20 a month, you get access to the flashcards for the majority of the exam titles with DANTES and CLEP. If you are not completely confident using only IC, you can always supplement with FREE online resources as well. In any case, I wouldn't drop $345 on a study guide ever. Pass Your Class has study guides for about 1/10 of this price. Honestly, $345 is so far off the mark, from a price point perspective, that it is ridiculous.

Supply and demand shouldn't support the price point that Chancellors is looking for. There are literally hundreds of resources out there and all of them are cheaper than $345 per title. At that point, I would just take my classes at my local community college. I would certainly vote that you skip this particular offer! If I had my heart set on study guides, which I don't, I would go for "Pass Your Class". While I haven't heard any raving reviews for their product, the fact is that their price point is still very manageable. InstantCert + Internet Browser has my vote.

Thumbs down on the $345 guides.

I do like to look at a few different sources. I think IC is enough to pass all the tests I've taken. It is where I have started and ended all my study. But variety keeps me from getting bored.

My recommendations: REA, Pass Your Class, Petersons, Annenberg media (online videos). All fairly inexpensive ways I've used to pass my limited amount of courses. In fact the only resource I don't like that is recommended by many on this forum is Wikipedia. Perhaps I am a Wikipedi-ist?

If you live near one, try a library. Lot's of good study material there at everyday low low prices.
