I have studied about half of the clep computer test flash cards, but after reading all this want to switch to the dantes test instead as it looks like it is clearly easier.

If I only use the clep cards, will it cover everything in the dantes test?

I don't know. Do you have enough time before your exam to run through all the Intro to Computing DSST flashcards? I found said exam to be quite doable with IC (flashcards & feedback) and Wikipedia alone.

Agreed....read through at least once and see how different they are. Those who have taken the DSST -- some without anything but IC but some who say study IC and then read through the CLEP cards at least once.

So, suggest at least once through DSST and anything really new to you review again once or twice.

Good luck -- advantage to this DSST is it is UL credits.

Actually, I think that's only the MIS DSST. Intro to Computing is Lower Level Credit.

You're correct, Ruddigore. I guess I just decided to go for the UL and forgot everything else. Smile
