Hi There,
I've been on IC for a while, and I'm constantly hearing about people taking Peterson's (or maybe Pearson's?) practice tests before CLEPs or DSSTs. I haven't been able to find out how to get those. Are they in a book or online? Are they free? And can a non-military person take them? Thanks for any info you can give! I'm about to start studying for the Ethics in America DSST and could use some help finding practice tests...
Thanks!

Hello joybug!
I am also currently studying for the Ethics in America DSST and started a thread about practice tests for it here: http://www.degreeforum.net/general-educa...tests.html, and the very helpful people over there should have your question covered. 
The Peterson's practice tests that you've been hearing about are free for the military, and I believe that they are $20 for anyone not related to a service member, but I'm not positive on that one, so maybe someone else could jump in and answer that for you. Just google "Peterson's practice tests." However, the Ethics in America DSST was updated at some point (2008/2009ish?), and the practice test is still for the older - and arguably easier - version of the test, so it is not a particular good indicator of the difficulty, although according to the Specific Exam feedback for this test the content of both versions is very similar.
Hope that is helpful!

Peterson's can also be accessed through your local library if they have access to the Testing and Education Reference Center. Talk to your library and ask if they have partnered with TERC. For me, all I have to do is put in my library card number and I can have access. Although, they only have a few DSST practice tests.
