They are in the threads on here from Youtube- look them up or don't be rude and lazy- and there are a lot online so I am not going to post them all.

Wow, no need for animosity between fellow learners? I listened briefly to Intro to Religion Lecture 0 - Course Intro. Geez, move past this intro video....she goes on and on about her farm and animals. She does not start discussing the topic (course subject matter and materials) until 4:30ish. Maybe just start on Lecture 1.

Are you using InstantCert flash cards? Did you use InstantCert before? According to the posts below, it appears there are a lot of good resources in the specific exam feedback thread for this subject. I haven't personally taken this test so I'm sorry I can't be more helpful. One of my favorite study resources is fee-clep-prep.com they also offer a free practice test.

Ok, I am taking this test for the second time next week (I failed the first time) and am wondering what people have used to study? I have found a few resources, and was just wondering how effective everyone has found them to be. Or if you used something else and found that it was helpful, what was it?

This is what I have found:

• Idiots Guide to world religions
  
• Pass Your Class - DANTES DSST Study Guides through this it says if you don't pass you get your $$ back but I am not sure how reliable that is
  

I appreciate any help that anyone can give, thanks!

Just heard the tail-end of a program that was the final program in a series entitled, "World Religions 101." If you go to http://interfaithradio.org/religion101 you can listen to the series. The series is described as, "Stephen Prothero gives us a crash course on eight of the world's spiritual traditions—what they believe, where they come from, and how they’re different from each other. Each segment poses two basic questions: what is the problem that religion defines as central in the world, and what is the solution?" The program I heard, on Hinduism, was interesting. It might be a source for folks taking the World Religions exam, or just for folks who want to learn about other religions.

I used the same study guide & read through all the comments in that same thread. Passed with only a day's worth of studying. It's totally do-able.

Where can I find this study guide? A link would be helpful
