Which is the easier of the two? From the 'specific feedback' section, I'm getting no real feel one way or another.

Then again, the DSST is a lower credit exam, and the ECE is an upper level exam. That can sometimes make a big difference in the difficulty level. JoAnne

I agree with JoAnne in that the DSST is easier....That said, many forum members have passed BOTH using just the IC cards...I know that's what I did. Lee

DSST is easier, shorter and cheaper.

Hi Cindy,
I used the DSST flashcards to pass both the DSST and ECE exams. Between that and reading a bit more in depth on some of the people at Wikipedia, I did well on both.

I recently asked my advisor about the Ethics exams. The answer that I received is below. Given the choice, I would take the DSST (less expensive, probably easier) but the ECE has the distinct advantage of being upper-level business credit, which I need. What do you need? --Chris
Quote:...the Dante exam, Ethics in America, can not apply as a business elective. Therefore, I do not recommend that exam since you do need business electives. However, the Excelsior College exam called Ethics: Theory and Practice will apply as upper level business electives while satisfying your Ethics requirement.

I took this exam Saturday and passed. It was almost all yes/no with about 10 multichoice questions 111 total. You must know each philosophers stance or type of philosophy to answer correctly.
I used IC, Prometric, DSST study guide.

Thanks for all the feedback
. I do not need upper level credit. EC now awards grades for DSST so score is a factor. Easier is what I was seeking. I will DSST w/ IC and probably Prometric or EC practice exam.

Hello everyone,
I just want to say thanks to Instant Cert, I passed my first DSST test for Ethics in America, this past Thursday with a 48.  46 is passing score. I think I could've scored alot higher. Traveling an hour to the base education center and taking the test after working a midnight shift was a factor. I almost started to nod off in the middle of the test with all of that reading. What does a 48 equal on the grading scale?I want to knock out American Government next. This time I will really buckle down, and make sure that I'm better prepared when I test. |
