I've read through most of these postings that has been posted recently. I would kind of like to know why there is such an array of answers - First I know everybody learns and tests differently.
What do I study and where some are reporting scores like 450 - 471 - 461 - and then some are reporting scores 47 - 51 -65
some say the petersons tests were adequate with a little additional help for IC
some are saying the ic dsst was not even relevant - but the ic clep exam was more like the test.
It would be really nice to know which is right. I'm trying to study and without actually taking a class to take the test which is really stupid - it would be really nice to know what to study.
Hi there Accounting 1 - first of all, not sure if you'll get too many answers in the specific feedback forum. Is there a mod out there that can move these two posts?
The reporting scores just have to do with whether you're taking an older DSST version, which are scored identical to CLEP, or whether you have a newer version, which are scored out of 500, with 400 being the passing score.
There is no "right" way to study for an exam, and I doubt that anyone here will think you're stupid for studying without taking a class. The reason we're here is because we're doing it too and most of us are very successful with it! Doesn't mean that it will work for every subject, all of the time, but it can!
How you start off will depend on your learning style. Right now I'm also studying for this and using youtube lectures before diving into the IC cards. Go to youtube and look at khanacademy or mbabullsh*tdotcom (without the asteriks
) and there are some great very simple explanations that rival the best in-class lectures. So, you aren't learning without a class - you're just getting class segments from different teachers and pulling them together with other resources.
HTH and once a Mod moves this to the right spot, you'll probably get a lot more feedback
