I have just finished my last two tests...I feel sort of numb, actually.
I am 99% sure I passed. For IU, I need a "45" on the Fundamentals of Counseling, and a "48" on Here's to your health.
I definitely recognized most of the questions/answers from IC. There were about 5 totally unfamiliar questions on each and maybe 20 total on each where I couldn't eliminate the other three answers immediately.
The test administrator was so helpful and the atmosphere at this General Studies department so supportive...pics everywhere of grads, a huge poster of a general studies grad in the testing room, black and white and artsy, made me feel so good about the whole non traditional path, and all the people who have gone before...
Passing these will give me 45 credits by exam. Now I HAVE to get to work on finishing my remaining coursework for my IU courses, no excuses!!:eek:
I have 4 exams total left to go in my 3 self paced online courses. I am one assignment and one exam away from finishing my computer course, 4 assignments and 1 exam away from gender role sociology course, and 6 assignments and 2 exams away from a sociology of religion course.
I have had to put my mind into test prep and have put those courses aside for the past few weeks, but now I must get on with them. Should be done by mid September.
I am so glad I took at least two dsst exams. Now I know a bit more about what many others on this board experience in terms of that type of testing, including the wait. Even though I'm pretty sure I passed, I will be glad to see some big envelopes in my mailbox soon!
Cheers,
whew....
