SpeedyPrep rant

[marylynh]

I actually have used IC products at different times over the past 4 years, for 20 CLEPs and DSSTs. I've found IC study guides to be very helpful, and I've passed most of the tests I used IC for. I read these forums some, but not too much, cuz I have access to CLEP/DSST forums through CollegePlus!, and they normally have all the info I need. Also, I've been a member here with my current IC account for over 4 months...so I'm obviously not here to stalk anyone. But when I see a post with negative things about 2 companies that served me well, I just had to say something.

Fair enough then. I never got the impression that there was a problem with CollegePlus.

It is an unfortunate yet common practice for company representatives to get online and post fake user experiences to enhance their company image. One way in which this is detectable is that they only have 1 or 2 posts. They can be a new user, or they might have had an account for awhile to keep an eye on the competition.

They don't really attempt to find solution for the original poster, but seem intent on following an agenda of their own design.

I simply wanted a post to bring this to the attention of readers for years to come. Future readers will have a gentle reminder that this can happen online, and to use that in their decision making process.
