I have been checking the Feedback Section and no one has added anything in over 6 months

Just wondering if anyone has taken this recently and had some insights or tips. I downloaded the Exam Fact Sheet from the Dsst website but it is not that helpful-- just a bare bones outline. This test seems very broad-- almost 3,000 years of art and artists-yikes. There is no practice test for this one either which makes me nervous. So any help would be appreciated

These videos pretty much go right along with the test. This is what I used.

Thanks Alleycat! I have been watching these videos so that is good to know that you found them helpful. I am curious how picky the questions are... like do they ask really obscure things or is it enough to know the main artists, where they lived, influences, types of media, etc. I am not good at memorizing every little detail and so I am a little nervous about that.

Creative, it has been sometime now since I took the exam. I think it was more broad range vs small detailed. Its really not a popular exam.

Thanks Alleycat! i agree, this test is hugely unpopular. I can barely find any info on it. I have spent quite a bit of time studying for it so I hate to back out and start a different test. I really love art so I was looking forward to studying something I actually enjoy. I just wasn't really prepared for how broad this test seems to be. Thanks for you help!
