Because I'm planning on taking Human/Cultural Geopgraphy exams so I have been research for what to exam and I want to know if highlander's post is still useful.
They have more than one version of each exam but don't regularly update them due to the costs involved in the testing process to establish scoring. That is an older exam since it doesn't have a passing score of 400 (those were updated and the scoring system was changed). I'd guess the exam is several years old but as I said they have more than one version (based on the scoring tables referencing two different exams with data used to calculate the scoring). If anyone gives you actual exam questions (which they shouldn't be doing) note that they may or may not appear on your exam. I'd say any feedback you can find is likely still relevant for that exam, good luck to you.
My completed "non-traditional" credits include 27 credits from CLEP, 30 credits from DSST, 6 credits from ALEKS, 19 credits from FEMA courses including PDS, 3 credits from NFA courses, 10 credits from ACE Workplace Training, 3 credits from a TESC TECEP exam, and 3 credits from a TESC PLA course.
