I'm really interested in taking it, but I was wondering how well InstantCert performed on mobile devices. Is it usable? Obviously for the proctored sections I would need a PC, but I do most of my studying/practice at home on my phone, due to lack of internet access. I can arrange blocks of time to take proctored exams after work, I just don't want to have to spend hours after work away from my family slogging through the non-proctored portions of the course.

What do y'all think?

I seem to remember the last time I subscribed the study portion of InstantCert worked okay on my iPhone, but It was a while back and I didn’t know how different the course was from the flash cards.

About the CLEP, I was hoping to apply to UMPI for their competency program after I’m done with my free Purdue Global course. They only require 3 hours of a foreign language, so assuming they accept it, InstantCert Spanish 1 should be all I need. I’m hopeful because the wording on their ACE acceptance sounds pretty liberal. The way they make it sound, if it’s ACE then they’ll accept it. They just limit how much.

I’ll subscribe now and start knocking it out.

While I have you, though. Thank you very much for the InstantCert product, forums, and community. It has been very beneficial to me over the years and I know it’s helped so many others, as well. Without this place I would not have been able to accomplish what I have and what I plan to. My journey will hopefully be an inspiration to my son and my fiancé, and I owe so much of it to this place. Thank you so much.

I can type in Hebrew on my computer, easier than getting accents with the Latin alphabet. 

Otherwise, I would print each lesson's vocabulary list from my computer, write any grammar points on the same page, then do the exercises on my phone. 

PDF with flashcards for vocabulary words would really help. I took Spanish I before, I'm just using the ICC course to remember the differences between Spanish and French. 

I may not bother with the final proctored exam, since the credit would overlap.

For example, you hold down the letter 'e' and it will type an 'é'. Now that I think about it, we probably need to put that detail somewhere.

Great to know!  
I am wondering whether the same is true on exams, or if, with their proctoring software platforms, exams might require a different accent-typing method?

… Oh. I might should have switched this to the "Spanish I" thread instead.  Would you relocate it if need be?

Thanks!
