World Religions DANTES?

[abby]

i'm studying for this test right now too. IC has world religions so i'm using that for the time being. i'm still trying to find a good book to supplement with the IC. i checked out the Compact Guide to World Religions as abby wrote up there, but a lot of people seem to say that the author is biased towards one religion and the purpose of his book is to evangelize. i'm a little worried that if it's true, then i might not be getting the complete info i need for the exam. =( i'm waiting for Introduction to World Religions by Hopfe at the moment (it's on interlibrary loan so i'm waiting for it to get to my library). once i get it, i'll skim it and tell you guys if it's any good.

and abby, where do you find practice tests for this exam? it's kinda frustrating that DSST don't have peterson tests like CLEPs do.

[SIZE="4"]first. yes, I think the compact guide book is written by a Christian author. But I think he lays it out clearly/detailed enough. Though I cant say that from experience as I've not read the book yet. And if it bothers you that the author holds a particular belief, then you might be better off looking for a different book.

second. they have DANTES practice exams at getcollegecredit.com for $20 a piece. Somewhat helpful as it gives you practice but not as nice as the petersons are. Now, if you can get the guidancenet.com website to work for you, they do have petersons and dantes tests for free. it's tricky though. you might try US Air Force - Education and Library Resource Center then enter in the code FFL518 and see if that helps you. If not, I'd just pay the money. You can look up the other posts on the guidancenet thing and see if they explain it any better.
