Ok, Embry-Riddle is offering this class this coming term, however, I do not want to take it. I need to test out of as many classes that I can. My degree must be done by October or earlier. Right now, I'm sitting at 89 credits or something. Anyways, after reading everything about the forgiving curve of this exam, I began studying. I started 4 days ago and so far i've; gone through the IC cards once, watched 3 Khan videos, the first 5 Against All Odds videos, and just finished a Peterson's exam (39%). Follow me as I try and burn this test down. Any pointers that you think I should know are greatly appreciated. Oh, I will be testing Weds. most likely.

Through the rest of December you can take DSST practice exams free (someone posted this earlier). I went to
DSST - GetCollegeCredit.com Then, on the right hand column choose- take practice exam - follow that link. use the code REFER2011 when asked for it, and you get to choose your test(s) and take 2 times each. WONDERFUL!!!! At the end you will get a review of what you missed. May want to play with something other than the test for Business Statistics before you do that one to get used to the format and all. It isn't difficult, but just takes a bit to maneuver around. Good luck!!!!

Thanks for sharing your path. Could you comment on your math skills? Also, are you a fairly logical person? My math skills are nonexistent, and I'm as illogical as they come. Even with all of that, I'd like to test out of this course. Againk, thanks.

4 Khan videos today on z-scores and null hypothesis. A few more weak areas to go over tonight, then test tomorrow morning at 1130. As far as math goes, i've just finished college algebra and trig. Got A's in both. For me, math is a nice break from writing papers about aviation safety, so I enjoy it for the most part. I used to hate math, I was terrible at it. I think the better the teacher, the better I feel about math. I began studying for stats with absolutely no knowledge of stats (other than how to spell it). We shall see if it pays off in the morning. Wish me luck!
