Astronomy Vs. Principles of Physical Science 1 ? - kowallaj - 06-05-2010
Can anyone offer some advice, here is my situation,
1. I have limited time,and
2. not a great science and math background, and need 2 natural science courses. I have already scheduled Enviroment and humanity, and was planning on taking Principles of Physical science, however after reviewing some study materials for Physical science, I am having second thoughts, escpecially since there are no instacert resources for physical science. I am now considering Astronomy. Any suggestions on which way would be best, Thanks in advance!!!

I can only speak to TESC - Intro to Computing is a doable exam that falls under natual sciences. You can take either the dantes or clep version.

I've had both of these courses ages ago at B&M schools. The astronomy class was actually very close to a physics course, at least how it was being taught, so I would say the physical science, just from my experience, is probably easier. But, if you've looked over the Astronomy info and can find more study guides for it, then of course it may be easier. Sorry, I'm not help.

My vote is for the Astronomy DSST. I haven't taken the Physical Science DSST, but it seems like a broad mix of chemistry and physics. I took the Astronomy DSST using the IC flashcards as my primary source (with limited study time) and passed. The "Specific Feedback" section is huge help, too, and I think someone may have posted a study guide there as well. Good luck!
