I used Instacert Intro to Buisness to study. Was Helpfull.
I ordered the regular colllege text book for the same class at my school which I rented for 30 days at $45. This was the key to passing. The text book was important since there are no study guides anywhere. I looked up everything on the DSST guide and read those chapters in the text book in about a weeks time. I studied for 2 weeks about 1 hour per day, cramming for the last 2 days, 2-3 hours per day.
The test was hard and I had 21 seconds to spare, this test you are given 2 hours.
You need to know a little about everything, no more than 2-3 questions on the same topic.

This is one of the hardest exams according to DSST. Out of all DSST exams, Buisness Law 2 is one of their top 3 most difficult.
I scored a 57 which is passing, this exam also has the lowest passing score of any exam which is 44.

Did you check out the Specific Exam Feedback at all? There's plenty of non textbook study material, like Cheeseman's guide. Barron's Business Law was my "textbook".

Barron's is definitely a key resource. I'd also strongly suggesting getting hold of REA Essentials Business Law II. (It's a small green book). It made the difference for me.
Keep in mind the DSST Business Law II is a whole different game than Clep Business Law I. If you found Bus I easy, as I did, don't let yourself be lulled into thinking Bus II will be the same.

Are the questions mutliple choice or do you have to fill in the blanks? The practice tests were fill in the blanks but am wondering if that is how the actual test is offered. If someone knows the answer, I would appreciate their feedback.

REA has a book for BL II? I had the one for BL I. . . it was moderately useful for BL I, but strangely enough very handy for certain items on BL II.
Amen on Barron's, though. I bought the older edition used and that was pretty much enough all by itself.
