What are the Best Study Guides for DANTES World Religions

[jayAusTex]

This is really starting to bug me. I have read and read most of the post regarding this subject and I still don't feel good about my choice of study guide for World Religions ( Rudman's DSST) It didn't get very good reviews so its very hard to have confidence in it.

Has anyone passed DANTES World Religions with IC only? I really don't like counting on just one source, but I just can't seem to find anything else I trust.

Being my first DANTES exam I guess I'm being somewhat over cautious, but this is what has helped me pass all ten of my CLEP exams I have taken, so I like to stick to a tried and true method.

Thanks in advance for your comments.

Regards, Jay

I took the written DANTES in April. Used IC only and ended with a score of 73. There was a June 06 post from Snazzlefrag that was spot on with the study tips. The primary focus is on Eastern Religions. Drill on IC and you should be fine.

I used IC almost exclusively and got a 76. I did skim part of another book....forget what it's called....but I probably didn't need to. Although, as a caveat, I am a Christian and very familiar with Christianity and Judaism. Plus, I've already studied Islam some. So some of it was pretty "duh" for me.

But I'd say, use whatever book you have, read all the exam feedback on the Specific Feedback section, research online whatever you feel fuzzy on, do each section of IC about 5-6 times, and you should be fine.

Here's a helpful supplemental website that another IC member recommended. I used it and found it helpful.
