Failed two DSST's today...

[cookderosa]

I've really gotten off track and I was determined to get back to testing. Today I took Statistics; I was at a loss leading up to it but felt I knew the basics. Yup, I failed with a 369. I also took Environment, the Race to Save the planet; this one I felt pretty good about but failed with a 40. I've taken quite a few tests and these are my first fails. I don't want this to set me back even more so I'm trying to stay positive. Statistics is just kicking my butt; I was doing Aleks but I'm just not getting it (but I have to!).

Thanks for letting me vent; I'll be done with my pity party soon.

So sorry. Failing sucks, no other way to say it. In my case, it really messed with my head for a while, but you do have to pull yourself together and get back up.

A word on stats- I was using ALEKS for stats. I was up to about 35-40% in my pie and stopped. (I had planned on getting the credit that way initially)
Then, I went through the Khan videos and took the DSST. I will tell you HANDS DOWN that the Khan videos are more relevant than the ALEKS material. In fact, I hesitate to say this, but I didn't think ALEKS helped me on stats enough to justify suggesting it. Go thought the Khan vids- I think there are about 8 hours in all when you cover stats and prob both. I can say I used only Khan vids to pass stats DSST.
