DSST Environmental Science or DSST Astronomy?

Any thoughts on the level of difficulty of the two above tests - I need to take 1 of them for the gap in my LL credits? I have a fairly broad general knowledge, but I was leaning towards Environmental Science as something more applicable to everyday life.

Astronomy is a pretty difficult test. Unless you already have a lot of knowledge in that area, I wouldn't pick it.

If you DO decide on Astronomy, Crash Course Astronomy on Youtube is an excellent source of study.

I have a fairly broad general knowledge, but I was leaning towards Environmental Science as something more applicable to everyday life. I'm taking it tomorrow. I'll reply here and in the DSST thread how I did and how difficult I thought it was. I have been studying with Mastering the DSST Vol. II (which has the ES section), from a study section in another thread, and SDC (I'm also taking classes through them.)

How about doing both through InstantCert Credit? It’s $59 for two classes a month? If your interested, PM me and I can hook you up with a discount code for 10% off. I was able to finish American Government and Accounting 1 in the first month. It was well worth it.

I read Mastering the DSST Vol. II (Environment and Humanity) and watched a lot of SDC videos (about 6 hours worth). I wold rank it as medium or a 3 out of 5 on a hardness scale. GG

Military pass rates for both exams is 42%.
Astronomy is slightly easier and it may be easier to find resources on it. Mastering the DSST is a must-have. They are usually spot-on as to what will be on the test. I would also add in some Quizlet flashcards to get all the terms down.

Is DSST for anyone or one must be active duty?

Some schools are limited to their own students. Some testing centers are limited because they're on a base. But other than that, you should be fine.
