Has anyone taken any other DSST Exam besides "Here's to your Health"? I just took this exam, and failed it (395 out of 400). I need to take another science exam before the 25th of this month, or I am in big trouble.
Can anyone direct to another exam, and tell me how difficult it could be?
Thank you,
VTXBert

This DSST test is a good one to take, relatively easy if you study for it. Give me your email address and I can send you a study guide for it.

If you have any experience with computers (hard to avoid these days) Introduction to Computing should be a relatively easy course. I passed it with a 459 with IC Flashcards & Feedback and Wikipedia only.

I second Ruddigores choice - intro to computing dsst is
very doable with a few days study. IC has the audio files so you can download and copy to your ipod or burn a cd and listen to it. I'm sure you already have computer experience. The files will help seal in the extras...bits/bytes, inventor of memory...that kind of thing. It just depends on your background.

My test needs to be in Science. I was told that I can only take one of the following...
CLEP:
Biology or Chemistry
DANTES:
Astronomy
Environment & Humanity: Race to Save the Planet
Principles of Physical Science I.
Thank you

I found Astronomy to be the easiest of those listed. Of course I had some hobby knowledge on the subject. Race to save the planet would probably be my second choice if you know nothing about Astronomy already.

I thought Astronomy was interesting to study. The feedback here is right on target and it's pretty much just memorization. I had no experience with it. I can send you my study guide if you decide to take it.
