I want to take the DSST Foundations of Education exam ... any tips on preparation? Has anyone passed it using only IC?
Thanks!

I don't thing IC had Foundations of Ed. flashcards when I took it. My only suggestion is DO NOT waste your money on the Rudman Study Guide, it is a useless piece of garbage.

I didn't find it to be a very hard exam. If you have taken some psych courses and maybe done human growth and development it should be fairly straight forward. It mostly covered the history of education and some developmental stuff through the various age groups, if I remember correctly. I would look at the specific exam feedback area and use the flashcards if they have them. That is usually all I did along with some limited other resources as needed. Good luck!

Just a reminder to check out the specific feedback section of IC for more ideas on resources. There are a number of posters who left feedback which said they only used IC to prepare.

You have to be a paying member to see specific exam feedback. If you are sign in through the main page and the specific exam feedback will be the 5th Category on the forum home page.

If you can't access the specific exam feedback from that link, then you aren't supposed to be there anyway!
