Here's a question....I just took my first pencil and paper DSST test....any idea how long it takes to get the scores back?

Thanks.

any one have any tips on how to study for the american history 1?

I would like your thoughts on pursuing Master of Business Administration TUI’s MBA program with the following three concentrations;


MBA - Human Resource Management
- Logistics Management
- Information Technology Management


Additionally, do you feel having a BSBA and MBA from the same school would be viewed as a negative point on a resume?

Let me preface this with saying I searched the forums and found limited information on this test. I was wondering if anyone had any books that they would recommend for passing this test.

Which CLEP or DANTE exams were your memorable moments?


Which ones you felt you learned alot from ?


I can say Western Civilization I and II ....Humanities .....U.S. History I and II ...



I enjoyed studying on the different current events pertaining to cultural, technological and historical events...


Roman and Greek history ...the different philosophers like Aristotle, Socrates, and Plato ....

the Reformation period , Martin Luther , .....

Are these two tests the same, What I mean is will it be a duplication to take both of these test information systems CLEP and Management Information Systems Dantes.


if they are the same which one is the easis?

Any Ideas or suggestions

I took the pencil and paper version a couple of hours ago.

A disclaimer: I've been in the IT world for about 20 years and am currently an IT Director of a fairly large Jesuit University so I'm not a good example of someone coming off the street taking this one....that said:

I'm sure I passed it with room to spare. I prepared using only IC.

A couple of observations:

1. The test is a pretty good example of the difference between real world IT Management and the academic mindset. For example, there was a question that asked which IT type would be the one to produce a data flow diagram. In the real world, I would fire any of the four listed if they couldn't do it....in the academic world, there is a more easily definable answer. Also, there was only one question about steering committees (i.e. IT governance elements). In most IT/MIS organizations, governance committees play a very big role.

2. As some folks who have taken this exam have posted before me, there were far more questions that seemed more CLEP level computer questions than upper level DSST stuff. Things like the parts of a cpu, the difference between synch and asynch communcation, etc.

3. There were several questions related to differing kinds of systems: expert systems, decision support systems, GDSS, etc.

4. There were 89 questions on the exam. They were truly without sequence, I'd suggest using the randomization option when doing the IC cards.

5. There were only a few questions about the software development life cycle...although prototypes seemed to be a big deal. There had to be 3 or so questions about prototypes.

If anyone has any specific questions, I'd be happy to answer them.

I took the humanities CLEP exam this afternoon. It covered alot that was on the InstantCert flash cards, and a lot that wasn't (I'm not including anything I know was covered by InstantCert, but that I forgot enough of to utilize). Offhand, I only remember something on Medea, grouping of various people by their occupation (composer, author, painter of style X, etc). I'm not entirely sure if I hadn't already possessed a fairly decent background in humanities, I would have been able to pass the test (I got a 67) based solely on the InstantCert material. What are people's thoughts on this?
