First DSST - LuBee - 01-26-2007
Hi all,
In December I took my first DSST - Here's to Your Health. I used IC only as study source. I received my passing grade in the mail less than two weeks later. Yeah!
In the beginning of January I took and passed the Thomas Edison TECEP Psychology of Women. My advisor at TESC recommended it. I found and used a website outline of a course by the same name as a study guide.
http://www.wsu.edu/psychology/2005/classwebpages/fall2006/files/324s1Exam1Review.pdf With all of the previous CLEP study I did in the Psych area I felt comfortable with this one right from the start.
Today I took the American Literature CLEP and easily passed. I used the information that forum contributors offered and used The Complete Idiot's Guide to American Literature. I also used the Peterson's Practice test and made their Q & As and the Idiot Guide into flashcards.
As is usually the case with me, I feel overwhelmed for a while then the information finally starts to crystallize and I feel ready to test.
Next week I am taking another TECEP that is necessary for my degree, Art History 2. This is one of those really broad but not deep areas like Humanities. With TECEPs you must get 60 out of 100 to pass.
I am so grateful for the all of you who have helped with your advice and support. I am hoping that I will have all of my credits by April by using CLEP and DSST testing. Without IC and this forum it would not be happening.
