Art of the Western World, Has anyone taken the DSST?

[msmith07]

I just retook this exam yesterday and passed, needed 400 and got 420. I will look over my notes to jog my memory and post area of focus for you ( it may take me a few days as I am working crazy hours) . I started with the IC flashcards as I also had zero knowledge of Art History and found them very helpful as the amount of art history is overwhelming. It gives you a strong base but you must supplement. When I did not pass the test in Feb, as it was changed in Jan. I added Jansons art history book to supplement my studies, I also used internet searches on some of the artists I felt I needed to understand. This is def one of the harder exams due to the volume of material in 100 questions!! I also completed the survey at the end of the test, as there were at least 5-6 questions on present day artists. I will post details shortly !! Good luck !!
