I am taking DSST Intro to World Religions on Thursday. Any advice?? I am studying the IC flash cards, but it is so much info and I'm afraid it may not be enough. Any thoughts? I need to pass to graduate in May.

I have only tried the free one but I guess I will try the $5 one also. Didn't do too well even though I've been going through the IC flashcards all week.

I wouldn't use IC alone for this one, but with the Specific Exam Feedback, you should be able to pull off a pass. Go through everything on Pixie's study guide. I found it bumped up my score by a few points at the very least.

Hope you ace it,
R.

Thanks to everyone's advice, I passed with a score of 416. This was a really hard test and if I had studied IC flashcards alone I would not have passed. A word to anyone who is taking it: know what Sikhism is, who was the founder and some other info. There were at least 3 questions regarding Sikhism and I was not familiar with it at all!!!! Thanks again!
