Overlap: CLEP Principles of Management/ DSST Principles of Supervision - SoliDeoGloria - 03-17-2013
Okay, my next test is the CLEP Principles of Management. But I also need to take the DSST Principles of Supervision. So I have a few questions:
1. How much do these two tests overlap? Are they pretty much the same content?
2. Is PofM doable in a week? About how much time have you taken?
3. My final test will be the DSST Intro to Business. Is the majority of this test made of the material from my recent tests (Marketing, Management, and Supervision)?
Thank you!

There is quite a bit of overlap between these two tests, i took the Clep first then 4 hours later my proctor let me take the Dsst.
Definitely doable in a week. Go over some IC and check out the specific feedback for the test. Its priceless.
There are a few concepts that are different between the two or specifically for PoM Clep or PoS Dsst.
Between all the business tests, you will see little overlap, there is some.. but not enough to not study.
Intro to bus is also a fairly easy one. For that i'd also recommend IC and Specific Feedback, The specific feedback section has some really good study guides people attached, i remember focusing on those as my main study source (mainly for the Dsst because there are no REA books for Dsst)
Best of luck!

There's a LOT of overlap between POm and POS. And yes, I think you could take POM in a week. Just drill terms
Hint: try http://www.businessdictionary.com, it's great for terms

Principles of Management and Principles of Supervision have so much overlap it's not even funny. If you've studied for the Management and passed it, you can pass the Supervision. Intro to Biz is also super easy after a couple Biz exams. So easy, that I'd be willing to bet you could take the Management test, then the next day take the Supervision AND the Intro to Biz. It all deals with the same cup of tea.
And as seanmathews stated, go through the Specific Exam feedback.

Thank you for all your suggestions! That's exactly what I needed to know. I have a little over 2 1/2 weeks to get POM, POS, and Intro to Business completed, in amongst the rest of my crazy schedule! I will definitely check the Specific Feedback section too.
