Intro to World Religions DSST, Anyone??

[snazzlefrag]

I finished the Intro to World Religions Test Wednesday, and now WAIT for my results. I feel fairly confident that I did well using ONLY InstaCert! I did take a sample test offered by DANTES the day of the exam (early Morning), and indeed a couple of the Questions Re-Appeared, but nothing of real importance not covered by Instacert.

I too was caught off-guard by the amount of Questions on Christianity and Judaism, and do recommend that folks give these two sections a little more attention - especially the Explainations!

Well, now its off to begin studying for the Biology Clep!

Just a reminder,

There are several different versions of each exam. Two people could take the exact same test on the same day, and at the same testing center, but encounter different questions.

The version of the exam that I took had MUCH more of an emphasis on Hinduism than on Judaism. In fact, Judaism was way down the list of religions in terms of the number of questions asked. Hinduism, Christianity, and Buddhism were the big three on my version of this exam.

So anyone preparing for this exam should make sure they are studied up on Hinduism and Buddhism too, just in case they get the same version of the exam that I got.

I felt that Intro to World Religions was a challenging exam. There were quite a few 'ambiguous' questions that could have gone either way, and there were several questions that I had to completely guess on. I studied hard for this exam but I still wasn't sure how I had done when I left the test center (DANTES exams often leave me feeling that way). However, I ended up with a 76. So it is definitely possible to do well on this exam with enough study!

Hope that helps,
