I sat for this test today and would NOT recommend it. I did not pass - 386. I am an "older" adult (mom and grandma) student almost finished with my B.A. I have studied history and art (world and Western) quite a bit, passed the Humanities CLEP a couple of months ago, and studied intensely for this test. I knew periods, pieces, artisits, influences...and felt reasonably confident even by the end of the test. Maybe it was just the questions that I got, but was appalled that there were 3 questions about the Vietnam War Memorial, and probably 5-7 questions about things like Andy Goldsworthy's Pebbles Broken and Scraped (had to come home and look that one up!)...yet nothing on Boticelli, Giotto, Rembrandt, or Monet, or Mannerism! Oh, and there's NO DSST practice test for this one. BEWARE!
