I set up an appointment for June 9th to take 2 dsst exams. I am taking Ethics In America and Intro To World Religions. Am I crazy? Perhaps a little bit.
I took 2 DSST exams in one day before - Astronomy and Race To Save The Planet - and I passed them both with ease. I have heard that Ethics In America and Intro To World Religions are both fairly difficult, although I feel confident in my knowledge and interest in the latter subject. However, I am beginning to feel the weight of my decision now. Is this doable? Does anybody have any suggestion for success? I have 10 days.
I am using Snazzlefrag's awesome guides and Instantcert. Thanks!

I passed ITWR - it's not bad if you pound the questions on IC and you use the specific exam forum. The way I did it was that I took all the topics that were suggested in the forum and made online flashcards out of them. The process of having to reformulate them as q&a combined with the studying did the trick.
Also, it helps to focus on one religion at a time; otherwise, you will mix them up and get confused.
I also took 2 dssts that day, itwr and the computer one. It's definitely doable if you study hard.

Don't let anyone tell you what you can or can't do. Only you know if you're motivated enough to knock out two tests in a day.
I've taken Ethics in America and passed. I only studied the day before using nothing but IC (went through all the sections once). Now that being said I didn't feel that good going into the test and not much better coming out, but I ended up doing well.

The key to World Religions is Specific Exam Feedback. That, the flashcards, and maybe a book from the library should get you an easy pass.

:iagree:
Hit the nail right on the head. I was ultra intimidated with this one because of the amount of information that (I thought) I needed to know about each religion; however, The Specific Feedback and the cards are what got me on the right track. Same with Ethics in America, I had loads of fun studying for that one. Be sure to check out my post in the Specific Feedback! Good Luck!!
