Passed DSST Lifespan Developmental Psychology - GoodYellowDogs - 08-16-2014
:hurray: Passed today with a 419 - not my best - but I only had time to study for an hour. I do have a lot of psych courses under my belt, so that helped.
3 more DSSTs until my BS is finished! They are all scheduled for this month.

Lifespan will be my first DSST and I am not sure how to determine if I am ready to take (and pass!) the exam. I have tried the practice exams from dsst website but they are only 50 questions and they don't tell you what a passing score would be. Any advice on how I can be fairly confident I am prepared to test? Thanks for any input!

Passing score is 71-75% depending on the version of the exam the computer gives you. See http://getcollegecredit.com/assets/pdf/DSST_Exam_Scoring.pdf which has a percentage to pass listed for all exams that are "refreshed" and utilize a 400 score to pass. If you are not confident and need more time then my suggestion is to pick an exam that feels like a better match. You can pick one with a lower percentage needed to pass or seek out an exam such as DSST Principles of Supervision or CLEP Analyze and Interpret Literature which most regard as pretty easy.
