Dantes Intro to World Religion
#1
Has anyone taken this test recently? It and Intro to Sociology are what is left to complete my ASN through Excelsior. I am scheduled to do my clinical 5/29/09-5/31/09. I have the Religion test scheduled for this Thursday and I so want to pass since retest time is 6 months!!!!

I really don't want my degree hanging in limbo over either of these tests, so, can anyone give some pointers??? I have read and studied my Intro to World Religions book from college network, using IC flashcards too.....I cannot locate a practice test, anyone know if one is available?

HELP!!!!!

I took it. Almost failed. Studied IC cards plus a text book for two months.
Test was not close to IC at all. Questions were not "intro" questions.

I'm planning to take this test Wed simply on the hope that EC will be considering it UL soon. If they don't, it will just be 3 more extra uneeded credits. I will report back to give my input.

Hope this helps. It helped me a lot. One of the attachments is from an earlier post. I also used a couple of World Religion web sites. I studied for 2 weeks and made 420.

I just rechecked the Excelsior Catalog Credit by Examination Section/DSST Standard Subject Tests(pg. 25) It states Intro to World Religions is an Upper Level exam. Am I wrong? Hope not, as I was planning on eventually taking this exam for 3 upper level credits.
