DSST Computing, Management Information Systems, and CLEP Information Technology - mota - 03-04-2016

I am going to take these three tests, Introduction to Computing (DSST), Management Information Systems (DSST), and Information Technology and Computer Applications.
I am wondering which one I should take first.
Do you have any suggestions?
It seems like Information Technology and Computer Application is the most challenging one...

Intro to comp first, then MIS, then the last.

I don't know which school you're attending, but make sure that you can get credit for both the Intro to Computing DSST and the Information Technology and Computer Applications CLEP. These tests duplicate at some schools.

I would say MIS is the most challenging one. My order would be Intro, Info, MIS.

Also as Sanantone said check if Intro and Info duplicate at your school. I know at TESU they do duplicate.

Not all schools give full academic credit for the CLEP Info Tech and Comp App test. Some consider it to be technology (Associate of Science in Applied Technology, Bachelor of Applied Technology, etc.) instead of academic in nature.

Thank you very much for the comments and suggestions!!

I am taking Introduction to Computing first. Then, MIS.

According to my academic advisor, I won't need to take Information Technology and Computer Applications (CLEP) if I pass Introduction to Computing (DSST).

Thank you everyone!

There is a video based class at EdX. I used it and did very well on the test.


DSST Computing, Management Information Systems, and CLEP Information Technology - mota - 03-08-2016

Thanks to the suggestions from everyone here, I managed to pass Introduction to Computing today with a score of 462.

Thank you all!
