Easiest Science DSST?
#1
I am pretty sure I lack just 3 science credits to complete that part of my general education requirements. I just took the Astronomy DSST, and now I'm trying to figure out which one to take next.

So, which one's easiest for someone who doesn't like science? Here's to Your Health, Environment and Humanity, or Physical Geology?

Thanks!

Would any of the computing exams be an option for you, too? It's my understanding that these count differently at TESC than EC.

Definitely do not attempt the DSST Principles of Physical Science I. I think it will be way more difficult than the ones you mentioned. It was a pain studying for it, I still don't know how I passed it. I guessed on 90% of the questions.

I briefly looked at the the breakdown of that one and quickly decided it wasn't an option. Thanks for backing up my decision though! Smile

I'm not sure; I'll have to look into them. Thanks for the suggestion!

TESC does not count Heres To Your Health as a science credit they consider it "human services" which does not fall into general education. They did give me three science credits for the Information Systems & Computer Applications exam, they listed it on my transcript as COS-101 (computer science).

This is a pretty easy exam you don't need to be bill gates or steve jobs to pass it.

Here's to Your Health doesn't count as a science at TESC?! Crazy!

Oh, well, thanks for that info. I was leaning towards that one, but now I guess I won't "waste" my time on it (though I reckon it would count as a gen ed elective? which I also need 3 credits for). I need to look into those computer exams...

*sigh* Decisions, decisions...
