Personal Finance Help

Anyone help with DSST Personal Finance? Little embarrassed but could not find any relevant info in forums regarding what it takes to pass and what resources to use. Any advice welcome.

Personal Finance is a wild exam because it covers all sorts of areas from insurance, to mortgages, to retirement, etc. I used a book entitled, "The Wall Street Journal Complete Personal Finance Guidebook." It was written by Jeff Opdyke. I had also taken the DSST Busines Math exam and that helped on certain questions.

DSST also has a prep book for their basic exams, personal finance being one fo those and you should definetly get that book. I do not remember my exact score for the exam, but I did get an "A".

That's kinda' what I was thinking. Probably have acquired most of the knowledge to pass but not the width to get the "A" I desire. Just put a hold on the Opdyke book at my local library and I have the DSST prep book so I should be ready to go. Many Thanks.
