I was looking through a ton of clep prep courses and info on the clep program when i came across the instantsert program. it fit my needs educationally , my timetable and the study technique was very well suited to me personally.
I have found instancert to be excellent as a stand alone study method except in microeconomics and U.S. History 2. Now the unspoken key to all of this is really paying attention the explanation of the answers being shown beneath the answers on the flash cards. There have been a very large number of times that I have faulted myself by not taking enough time to lern the reasons behind the correct answer. What a crummy feeling when the clep test is under way and you are sitting there kicking yourself !!
One other quick thought... until just recently I truly believed I had to answer every clep question , even if that meant outright guessing. I wish somewhere the philosophy of " not" guessing on the clep tests had been explained to me. I know I would have scored higher if I had known.
