Questions for those who've taken numerous tests

I agree with others that the degree of difficulty will be different for everyone. As an example, most think Principles of Supervision is easy, so I took it as one of my first DSST. What I have found since is that bits of what was on that test was in the study material for some other test, (Principles of Marketing, Labor Relations, Human Resource Management, Intro to Business, Organizational Behavior, etc) so it also has a lot to do with what tests you have previously taken. I can't tell you how many test have a question about Maslow's heirarchy of needs... just keep that in mind and try to group "like subjects together"
I've taken 16 DSST since July ONLY using IC and the test specific study resources. I haven't failed any yet...I don't necessarily think DSST test are easier I think the wording is more straight forward. I also think the IC flashcards for these tests are better. I found Personal Finance to be the easiest followed by Technical Writing.
I've taken 7 CLEP since July and use as much study material as I can find, REA boks, Peterson's practice test, etc. I want to feel prepared for how the question may be presented. IC flashcards are okay for some. Biology flashcards, forget about it..I haven't failed any CLEPs yet either. Personally I found A&I Lit. the most difficult, again others found it easy.
When I first started I was seeing posts that others were taking a couple tests at a time, that doesn't work for me. I only study for one test at a time. You need to find out what works for you, everyone has a different style and comfort level. Just do it!! After the first one everything seems easier..
