Which UL DSSTs to take?
#1
OK, I need 2 upper-level courses to finish my degree. I've already signed up for IC. I have it narrowed to 3--Heres to your health, Substance abuse, and environment/humanity--race to save the planet. I'm leaning toward HTYH and SA. What do you think are my easiest choices?

Double-check that your school accepts these as UL and as the type of credit you need. Health and Substance Abuse are good to take together. I don't remember seeing anyone mention that their school accepts Environment as UL.

DSSTs:
Environment & Humanity: 59 | Technical Writing: 66 | Public Speaking: 67/Pass | Astronomy: 72

Other Courses:

Yes with good study materials; the IC flashcards are great for these. Most of Substance Abuse was new to me but Health was not. Just be sure that your school considers them to be UL and the category you need. I have seen a lot of variation among school policies on these. Here is my feedback for both exams:

Again, Environment has gotten good reviews here, but I haven't seen it considered as UL.
