How relevant or accurate is the Official DSST pratice test ($5 through the site) to the actual test?
I've done a lot of studying and feel ready. I understand the test has been updated and the typical resources (Petersons and the Dantes study guide) are useless with the current version.

I found these to be a hit or miss. Ethics in America practice test resembled what was on the real test. Organizational Behavior on the other hand was a complete miss. Nothing on the OB practice test matched up with what was on the real test.

Thank you.
My test is next week.
I've read though the Handbook of Technical Writing front to back. Diving into study.com stuff now to keep me refreshed until my test on Tuesday.
It'd be nice if the official resource actually reflected the material.

Took the test today.
The Official DSST test for Technical Writing was of no use to my version of the test.

Good luck with it. I personally felt that study.com pretty much taught me the test.
How'd you make out?
DSST - Technical Writing - 441
CLEP - College Composition - 69
Can only test out of 2 more classes for my degree:
CLEP - Analyzing and Interpreting Literature - TBD

Another homeschool friend of mine just had her 2 daughters use the practice test for HTYH and the "good tester" only squeaked by and her other one didn't pass- both did well on the practice test. I don't know what to say, but with all the DSST exam revisions these past 2 years, I'm apprehensive.
