Hello,
I was planning on taking this Dantes exam and was wondering what the best way is to study for it. Is there a good website that has flash cards or a good study guide? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

This PDF shows what is covered on the test and suggests a couple of textbooks for study. I like to pick up a $5 textbook through thriftbooks or Amazon and use it to study. I seem to remember looking up some of the topics on Youtube as well. The test is not difficult if you have experience with computers.
As a side not, they are not called Dantes anymore. They are just called DSST's.

Instantcert, the owner of this forum, has flashcards, but they cost $20 a month. They were my only study resource, and I did well on the exam. However, I have above average knowledge of computers.

I would just use the free-clep-prep reference guides. I bought a couple of study guides but they weren't that great, all the information is easily available on the internet.

Thanks NatashaB. Did you ever use InstantCert website? I was leaning towards that route.
I was thinking a one month subscription would be long enough to study for a couple tests but I will just have to test it out and see.

I did use InstantCert but i'm not a big fan of it in general. I think the IC questions for this topic were fairly spot on though and would have helped if I had used it more, I just hate having to spend time typing in answers.

Agreed. I basically used free-clep-prep.com for all of my tests, this one wasn't too difficult. If you have any kind of IT background, you should be able to pass this cold...but I shouldn't recommend people doing that.

Just keep clicking through to see the answer and move on to the next card.
