I guess I'm good with the WER, Guys I'm enrolling this week, I don't know how long it takes to get an adviser.
I have a DSST date scheduled for the 8th any suggestions on tests I can take until I speak to my adviser?
I can't take statistics yet. I need some time to prepare for that.

DSST Drug and Alcohol Abuse is by most accounts one of the easiest upper-level exams. The IC flashcards are excellent for this one. Look at the exam-specific thread too, and pay attention to what you read there. I like Civil War and Reconstruction as another upper-level exam, but I am kind of a history buff, and a big Lincoln fan (we have the same birthday). The IC flashcards are very good for this one too, but you probably will want some additional study as well.

I took the D&A abuse DSST and I like humanities better than math.
I don't know how I'm going to get through this math. I can do 40 credits worth of exams in a month but I failed out of HS because I couldn't learn Algebra lol
