I am going to take 5 dantes and 1 clep in three days. I did this because it is fall break.
I am taking:
Ethics in America
Race to save the planet
Here's to your health
Foundations in education
Lifespan developmental psychology
Natural Science
This is the first time I took a Dantes test
Does anyone have anything to help in these areas?
Thanks,
Mary

So you must've taken CLEP exams before. Besides recommending that you consult the feedback section, the online DSST exams aren't that much different from CLEPs. You have two hours instead of one and a half to complete the test and the questions have 4 choices to pick from instead of 5.
I personally like the online DSST format better and prefer it over the dated CLEP interface. Especially the review section which lists a short section of the questions in a summary format, making it easier for you to recognize and prioritize which questions to tackle next.
From your list of exams, I'm only familiar with the Ethics exam. I remember reading somewhere that the essay part is now mandatory, but I could be mistaken. It's important not to panic over the exam's somewhat wordy scenario texts as you will be presented with the same text multiple times throughout the test with different questions/situations, although not in a sequential manner. You might find yourself doing a lot of reading in the first few questions before you start seeing repeated texts. I must add that this exam was one of the weirder ones for me and I think it's very important to figure out what the question are about as the style is somewhat quirky in my opinion. I guess you should be good after few questions into the exam.
Good luck!

Iam using IC and Pass your class. I wonder if I should get the dantes study guides. I don't have but 2 weeks, but I have studied about 3 already. The only that I have not studied much on is Natual Science.

If you do get anything else, I liked the REA books and I always took Peterson's practice tests to get an idea if I was on the right track. Otherwise, you have great resources already! Good Luck!
