Physical Science DSST - My Experience

[silvis]

That's a perfect 100%! You killed that one -- Way to go!! It’s not often we see a score of 80 on here. Congrats and Congrats again!

Thanks! The score was a surprise for me, because I had marked so many questions for review that I was really scared about the result. I was quite annoyed this week, because I took several exams, and got 79, 79, and 76 for three of them, which were close but not perfect. Luckily, physics saved the day (although I would have never guessed that I would get a higher score in this one).

Like I said, I know that several of my answers were wrong (at least 2), so there is no need to get all the answers right to get the 80. In any case, a 55 would have been an A anyway, and I would have been happy about it.

Excellent! Congratulations!!!

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I am thinking about taking this one, too, which will be my last exam!

NAP, I thought that the Physical Science questions were much easier for me than the natural science CLEP exam. Just make sure you learn the atomic masses (more or less) for the important elements--I had to start guessing element positions and calculating approximate masses to answer some of the questions. Throughout the exam, my thought was, "This is certainly not like the practice questions in the fact sheet."

Good luck if you choose this test; it is fun to study for, although somewhat surrealistic. There is no practice test in the DSST website, so you are forced to go almost blindly.
