The premium plan gives you access to everything but the exams. I found doing a month (or two) of the premium was a good way to get a head start at a lower cost, and then once you start taking the exams (at least 2 a month) you never really have value in dropping back down to the premium - after all you do want to take the exam(s) as close to the time you finish the course as possible while the information is still fresh in your mind.
Regarding Shmoop - it is not what I would call difficult more that it is extremely painful to get through (hardest 70 for a pass I ever received for US History I). I personally wouldn't recommend it for anyone even if it was free - its only benefit for awhile was they offer English courses that are just not available anywhere else through alternative means.
Very helpful! Thank you Allvia!
