My friend and I took this exam last week but unfortunately I did we pass. Oddly enough we both made a 396 and 400 was needed to pass and we were on opposite sides of the room, which proved that we had some knowledge of the material but not enough to pass. What was very frustrating and disturbing to me was the study guide we had purchased was outdated and we didn't know it. We purchased the study material in October and the guide was updated in November, so we spent all that time studying from the wrong material. Needless to say we were extremely upset when the person facilitating the exam told us about the change in the study material after we had failed the test. So there's $80 down the drain. What is even more frustrating is we can't take the test again for another 6 months and we are both slated to graduate this coming July. I will say that the information we purchased was from the actual DSST website and not this one, but I wanted let as many people know that I could the importance of ensuring the study material purchased is current so this will not happen to anyone else.
