Just my own personal opinion - ISS is way too expensive.

ISS seemed way to expensive for me. There are so many other resources available (just search this forum, as it is an incredible wealth of info) that it just never seemed like good option. You may as well just pay for the traditional class instead.
Good Luck!

In my opinion Istudysmart is overpriced. Istudysmart IS Moore publishing and they have been writing study guides for a long time. Ten or twenty years ago it might be worth it, but the internet has given access to methods that are cheaper and just as effective. IC and this forum is just one example. Save your money and pass on ISS.

As far an intro to business, I only used IC to study. I did take take principles of supervision, HR management and Org behavior, also using the IC flashcards, and alot of the material is overlapping, which helps to study for the intro to business.
I did find these tests to be passable using IC, so you should have no problem.........I have been out of the game A LONG TIME!!!, and if I can pass it, you will do excellent Best of luck
