Astonomy test - besparza - 02-29-2012
Anyone have the latest information or taken the Astronomy Test recently? I need to take in 2 weeks and would like to study / memorize exactly what it needed. Thanks.

I found the resources here and some freebies were more than sufficient for the Astronomy exam. The tested subject matter is broad and not overly deep. It was nearly all memorization of facts.
The Specific Exam Feedback forum was my most important resource, followed by the IC flashcards. Supplement with the free stuff below and you should do fine.
I began with the DSST Astronomy fact sheet:

...and some tips from here:
Astronomy DSST Study Guide - Free-Clep-Prep.com
...the free Cliff's Notes were helpful:

I also used Wikipedia to supplement a few subjects (e.g. galaxy types, microwave background radiation, the HertzsprungâRussell diagram). Others used Youtube - that's a good idea; wish I had thought of it.
