Introduction to business DSST
#1
I have self tested with the Peterson off line test and received a 64% does this seem high enough to pass the main exam?

I have noticed that the Peterson offline tests seem harder than the real deal, does anyone have any feedback on this.

Hi there - I didn't take the Peterson's for Intro to bus, but the test itself wasn't that bad... at least I didn't think it was, but I've also worked in business for years and this was the very last bus test that I took after having sat for much harder tests.

Do you have access to the specific forum feedback? There might be a mention of Peterson's in there.

I did look through there but did not find the info. I should be OK, however I hate wasting money.

It seems other people have the same question. Some say 50% or more on the practice test should allow you to pass. I assume the DSST and CLEP are the same, I sure hope so since I have held back on several exams because they where below 70%

You should be fine with a 64% Peterson's score IMO. This particular test had a lot of "common-sense" type questions. I've found that Peterson's is always harder.

I purchased a month membership on the 20th of December and took Intro to Business DSST the 22nd and passed using nothing but the flashcards and common sense. I got a 420. If you remember that out of the 4 questions 2 are definitely not the answer and then work your magic from there it helps on anything that is tricky. Overall the test was not hard? But I went over my answers on the things I needed to review before I submitted.

:iagree: Yes.. don't forget that this is Intro to business, not one of the advanced UL tests. No test should be taken for granted, but the worst thing about this test would be getting used to business jargon if you don't have any experience with it.
