Perception of "Here's to Your Health" by Grad Progams/Law School

[mstcrow5429]

I'm somewhat concerned that if I take the "Here's to Your Health" DSST exam, it will (and maybe is) be seen as a throw away course by grad school/law school applications. Do others think this is the case? Any exams one should avoid if they are planning to pursue post-grad education? Thanks.

It looks like you've tested out of at least half your degree so far. I can't see one more test making much of a difference. Besides it's an elective, and if questioned you can always claim you took it because you had an interest in the subject.

I can't see that it would hurt either. As the previous poster said, you've already tested out of half of it, it's unlikely that one more test is going to burn you.

My assumption is that students like us are going to have to "prove" ourselves on grounds other than our undergrad degrees. I.e., good scores on the GRE, LSAT, exceptional experience, etc. Our degree is not the norm, so we're more of a risk. It won't screw you if you can prove your worth elsewhere, but my impression is that CLEPs don't generally help.

Really...what's one more exam?
