I'm trying to decide whether I should take Biology fro 6 credits or instead take 2 of the DSSTs below. Any opinions on which would be easier?
Physical Science
Astronomy; 3B
Here's to Your Health; 3B
Environment and Humanity: The Race to Save the Planet; 3B
Principles of Physical Science I; 3B
Physical Geology; 3B
Thanks!

Here's to your Health wasn't too difficult. I spent about 2 weeks studying for it and found it to be one of the easier tests I've taken.
I've read that Astronomy can be done with minimal study. Some people spent only a few hours with IC and passed. Of course that's not recommended, but I got the impression that you could knock it out in no time.

Astronomy is doable but there is quite a bit to memorize if you have no background in it. I am not sure I would have passed if I had used IC alone.
