Yesterday I took Bus. Ethics & Society, and passed nicely with a score of 435.
The test was slightly harder than I was expecting as my practice scores on Bus. Ethics quizzes I could find were avg. 75%.
There were a lot of questions that contained an act, moral philosophy etc. that I was familiar with, but they managed to ask some aspect of it that I didn't know so well. (ex. : which moral philosophy does the Civil Rights Act imply?).
My ordinary testing center wasn't doing DSST's this week, and I would have had to wait till Monday, so I went ahead and found another, the Lewis and Clark Community College. One thing's for sure: my thinking that their setup might be a little different was an understatement!! They had the computer desks set up in auditorium formation, complete with stair-stepping levels (I was sent to the very back top level!), and on top of that, the computer was down UNDER the desk!! That's right, each desktop was glass, so you had to stare down at the computer screen inside the desk! They couldn't be doing this for security reasons, as anyone could reach under the desk to mess with the computer. Anyone know why some colleges might use this setup?
Anyway, thankfully it wasn't all that distracting as I imagined to have the computer down there, and I had my glasses with me, so I had no trouble seeing the screen clearly.
