DSST Principles of Public Speaking

[topdog98]

Not finding information about the exact format of the public speaking part of this test.  I understand that you are given 10 min. to draft an outline and then 3-5 to audio record the speech.  Is the outline done on paper?  Or is it done on computer?  Does the outline get submitted as part of the evaluation?  Thanks if anyone knows this. 

I really like DSST exams, but I would avoid this one if possible. It was such a headache for me. First, it was difficult to find a testing center who offered this one, so I had to drive a long distance (and the center I went to vowed they wouldn't be giving this one again after my experience). Then the computer speech part messed up, and I waited for the longest time while they were calling for tech help. It never worked. Finally, I had to drive back to the testing center weeks later and finish the speech on a cassette tape (who uses those anymore?). I did end up passing the test.

So something like Straighterline's Intro to Communication is a much better option if you can do it that way.

Sorry for not answering your question, but good luck with whatever you end up using.
