So I need three History credits in order to graduate. I have the option of taking Human / Cultural Geography DSST or the US History I CLEP. Ironically, both tests are on the same day but in different locations.
Any suggestions on which test I should go for?
Here are pros/cons
Human/Cultural Geography DSST:
Testing location closer to my home and work.
Free CLEP prep gives it a difficulty rating of 2/5
Cons: IC does not have flashcards and not much material available to study, but looking at the feedback, the materials seem like general knowledge.
$35 sitting fee, $80 test fee
US History I CLEP:
$15 sitting fee, $80 test fee
Location is further from home and work (more travel)
Free CLEP prep gives it also a difficulty rating of 2/5
IC flashcards and videos available to study
I don't really have a preference of either DSST or CLEP testing software itself. I've taken tests for both and both are ok. Although, I did score better on the DSST's than the CLEP.
I just can't make up my mind which one to choose.
