Sanantone answered most of your questions, but I will tell you I am an obsessive over studier. I loved going over the specific exam feedback, some people (who know how) post study guides there. Also people will tell what areas they thought the test focused on and what areas they were not prepared for.
Yes IC is Instantcert Academy, it is $20/month but you can get discounts for the first month someone even has it in their signature, if you are doing a lot of exams in a short time you can join for 6 months at a discount. I always joined when I had one or several test to study for then quit when I wasn't studying. I miss the specific exam feedback now but I am only coaching my children and none of them has actually taken a test yet. The flashcards as they are called (I think of them more as fill in the blank) helped me study but I usually didn't try to answer I just used them by clicking through and reading questions and answers.
I never bought any textbooks I used IC, REA books, Peterson practice test (they used to be available free), and online sources recommended by others here. Oh and the free -clep -prep sight it is great. Also read Sanantones signature lots of free sources listed there.
