Thirty minutes before I was going to take the CLEP Information Systems & Computer Applications, I spontaneously skimmed through the DSST Supervision IC flashcards. I didn't read any explanations, instead I just kind of gauged my competence.
After my CLEP, I decided to push the envelope... I took Supervision immediately afterward. Passing is 46, I got a 47.
Take this as encouragement, not boasting. If a weak pass can be accomplished by 30 minutes of careless browsing; a couple hours of IC review will do wonders!

I'm not too sure at the moment. I like the sound of TESC on a diploma a lot more, but I dread the idea of taking ECEs. I really need some guidance as to which college to pick, there doesn't seem to be a common agreement amongst people.
Being in the Military and wanting any sort of BS in Business... Would either EC or TESC be more favorable? In all aspects... how 'easy' completion is, financially, etc.
Yeah, I was bummed that I get a C for the Supervision, just one more point and I would have made a B... I guess it doesn't really matter though.

Yeah and congrats. Yes that's encouraging since I'm looking at a long list of tests ahead. As we say on the forum- a pass is a pass. Good job.
