I passed the Here's To Your Health exam with a 435, and will receive 3 science credits for it.
I took the Environment and Humanity DSST yesterday, and unfortunately, I only got a 393. I am extremely frustrated, as the exam covered more environmental policy than anything. I never saw the word "biome" throughout the whole exam, and every study guide emphasized studying biomes!
I need to apply for graduation by March 1st, so waiting to retake the exam is not an option. I still need 6 science credits. Which exam or exams do you all suggest? My school accepts DSST, CLEP and UExcel. Like I said, I'm terrible in chemistry and physics and anything with formulas.
I need help! I also need an elective test, and I am great in reading, writing, comprehension, etc. I was thinking Fundamentals of Counseling DSST?
Any advice????

you're getting 3 science credits for Here's to Your Health? Are you sure?
If that's true, then you might like Nutrition x2 for 6 more. Straighterline and TESC are options.... but I'm hesitant. The SL course wouldn't count as science at most schools (including the big 3)...but if you're sure you're getting science credit for HtYH, you school may award science credit for SL Intro Nutrition. The TESC exam has BIO prefix, so that's a normal nutrition science credit, which wouldn't duplicate HtYH or SL Nutrition.
EDIT: instead of the TESC exam, you might like SL Anatomy and Physiology. They are offering a $20 off code right now for science classes, might work for Nutrition and Anatomy & Physiology.
