Results reported by real students preparing with InstantCert since 2006.

I’ve taken 5 CLEP exams now and have used Instant Cert to help me prepare for all of them. Their flash card and practice test resources have been more than enough to help me pass all of them with decent margin. For some exams, there are topics that come up on the exam that were not covered in Instant Cert’s content, but it hasn’t been anything too significant. Very much worth the money; this is about the cheapest college credit you can come by.
