Which DSST Exam do you recommend?

[Cbwyatt76]

Hello everyone! This Saturday, I am scheduled to take a DSST Exam. I'm narrowing it down to Intro to Computing, Here's to Your Health or Principles of Supervision. What do you think will be the easiest exam to pass???

Every individual is different based in background, but Intro to Computing is really easy for anyone who has used a computer for years. I heard that Principles of Supervision was one of the easiest DSSTs. Here's to Your Health would probably be the hardest of the three. I only have experience with Intro to Computing.

Here's to Your Health — 59-63%
Introduction to Computing — 59-63%
Principles of Supervision — 36-41%

Above are the tests you've broken down and the percent needed to pass. I've taken the Computing and Supervision but not the Health, but Computing and Supervision are both fairly easy, with Supervision being the easiest! If you've got 4 days left you might want to go with Supervision... go through the IC's Management flashcards (it's for the CLEP, but covers everything you need to know), go to Free-CLEP-Prep.com and review the Principles of supervision section.

have you taken other business exams?

No, but I plan on taking Marketing and Management in a couple of weeks for the ASBA program. I heard those were also really easy.

[Cbwyatt76]

Yes, I took the DSST Intro to Business and passed with a 426.

Supervision seems to bee your best bet then!

Thanks for the advice!!!! Is the statistics you posted for "passing rate" passed on CLEP or DSST (Dantes)?

[jt003806]

...then take Prin of Supervision since there is cross-over w/ Prin of Management. Org Behavior & Human Resource Man are also closely related. You can bang out all four in a relatively short period of time.

You'r welcome, it's for DSST. To my knowledge CLEP doesn't release much info (i.e. percent needed to pass, etc.), at least not nearly as much as DSST. I actually got it directly from Prometric (DSST's) website DSST | Get College Credit.

Here's the PDF: DSST Exam Scoring 101

They only list the exams that have been refreshed but other they also list a Technical Data Sheet for all their exams.
