Dakota Wrote:Principles of Statistics & Principles of FinancePerhaps if you were just cramming the information needed to pass the test this might be a well-founded concern. But, since you're reading an instructional book, you may go into the Quant. course with the necessary knowledge.
I have read everyones postings for these exams and they were both encouraging and scary. I am going to buy a TI30XA calculator this afternoon and see if my local library has An Idiot's Guide to Statistics available (per the advice posted on this site). Then I guess I will dive into Statistics and see if I get overwhelmed. I have to take a traditional Quantative Analysis course later this year and these 2 courses are prerequisites. I am a little concerned that studying and testing out of these (instead of taking traditional courses) will leave me with less foundational knowledge going into the Quant class.

By the way, I too will begin reading the Idiot's Statistics book for the DSST exam. From the reviews I've read on the book (Amazon.com) and posts here, it should be helpful.
