Hi All;

I'm taking my first DSST exam tomorrow and have a quick question. I understand it's a written exam, so not exactly like CLEP. I was wondering what the process is to get the score to the school (excelsior in my case). Is there a list of schools to choose from during the test like there is with CLEP, or is there another procedure?

I need to take one of the following tests to meet all of my upper level degree requirements (they're upper level at TESC, anyway). Any of them. Doesn't matter which. Which one, given the required score (listed after each), do you think is the "easiest" over all?

Environment and Humanity: The Race to Save the Planet ......46
Money and Banking.........................................................48
The Civil War and Reconstruction.......................................47
Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union........................................45
Organizational Behavior....................................................48
Drug and Alcohol Abuse....................................................49

Thanks.

Here's a quick timeline that may be useful just to keep basic facts straight,

Hope it's helpful!

how does the dantes grading work? i just took drug and alcohol abuse, and i know i answered at least 55 out of 106 correctly. how would that translate into a score? thanks. (update, I passed with a 63).

As I have now earned 81 credits in seven months, I find myself alittle curious as to how much time on average my fellow students spend preparing for Clep or Dantes testing? I now regret how I overstudied for the first four or five Clep exams only to realize that I could have speeded this process up if I had been alittle more aggressive. At about the sixth or seventh test I realized I could easily pass the tests with 3 days of studying. Any other comments.. I know I was not the only one taking too much time between tests.

I'm shopping for a calculator that will serve me well for both the DSST Statistics and the Financial Management exams. It seems kinda hard to get good info about which ones are "legal". Math is not my best subject, so I want a calculator that will give the "most bang for the buck". I note that the Texas Instruments TI-30Xa seems to be a favorite for Stats- I wonder if it would be a good choice for Financial Management as well? Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Acknowledging the the fact that Iam not anywhere near a science person and have not been anywhere near a science course in over 30 years...what of the two science offerings of biology or natural science would you suggest taking. I only need six credits of this and then onto college math clep and I will be done. So Iam definitely looking for the big quick and easy path to graduation. ideas..opinions and help are gratefully solicited. Thank-you!

Has anyone run into trouble finding a proctor locally for a TECEP exam? If you have been able to obtain one, shoot some suggestions my way. I approached my local public library and they said they don't proctor exams. I'm apprehensive about approaching the local community college, since I'm not a student there. :confused: Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I take American government clep exam this Saturday, Ive been studying using instantcert and I also have been using the american government cliff notes book, should I just foscus on the material in instantcert it seems instantcert covers a lot what is in the cliff notes book?
Thanks

Ok, I only have three more upper level test left.

Org Behavior - ECE
Ethics - ECE
Civil War - DSST

I heard Excelsior's Org. Behavior and Ethics tests where difficult. Has anyone who has taken either of these test in the last few months have any insight?

Also, How is the DSST "Civil War & Reconstruction" test?

Gonna try and knock them out before June 1st. Is this doable?

Thanks,
Scott
