Information Systems CLEP Difficulty

[dfrecore]

If you have a keen interest in computers and IT, this CLEP shouldn't be especially difficult. As Greencouch mentioned, however, there can be a few tricky questions (like the subtle distinctions between different IT jobs), so you would be wise to invest a few hours in study.

Also, if there are any younger students reading this, watch out for questions about "legacy" technologies - you'll probably get a few questions about floppy drives and other technologies that you probably haven't used before.

The DSST had a lot of old stuff.  As a 46-yo, it was right up my alley.  There was stuff in there that I thought "if someone much younger than me takes this, they won't have a clue!"  WYSIWYG, 5 1/4 vs 3 1/2 floppy's, DOS, pre-mouse usage of the keyboard (yes, that was how we did it kids), starting up a computer with a disk, etc.  It was nuts.  I think they've updated it since then, but I'm not sure how much of that stuff they took out.
