finding out my pre-test scores?

But what you can and should study is endurance. I'm absolutely serious. If you can not yet read difficult literature for a solid 90 minutes, then spend time working up to that. *my hubby, a magazine or pleasure ready thought this test was the worst imaginable torture and would rather stab his eyes with glass. He did pass though with a 51 Smile
You'll use every minute of your test (likely) and that's a long time for many people. Even for me, I was around the half way mark and just "over" the whole thing. I had to take some deep breaths, look away for a minute, regroup my thoughts and consciously tell myself not to get frustrated and speed through. I tend to be a fast tester (not a good thing really) and my tendency is to skim-answer-move on. This is not the test for that. Slow down and read carefully. Good luck!!

P.S. do study lit terms too, there might not be many questions, but if your score is on the pass line, it'll push you one way or the other!

The DSST refreshed exams which have a published percentage to pass on page two of this PDF:
www.getcollegecredit.com/assets/pdf/DSST_Exam_Scoring.pdf

You may also like this:
www.getcollegecredit.com/.../Technical_Data_Sheets_rev_20100108.pdf
which gives a breakdown of the DSST exams and the number of test questions on each version of the form and shows the average grade that was received during their testing (which is how the scoring is determined on any CLEP exam and the DSST exams with two digit passing scores).

Hope that helps.


Very interesting Info Thank you for posting it. I guess I have been taking DSST's so long I never look at that page.
