Some of the stats in the handbook are nuts. I'm also hoping to maintain a 4.0 at Excelsior. I've made As on all my DSSTs, but am studying for my first ECE. The percentage of students who make an A in World Population averages in at a measly 4%! World Conflicts, which I take next week, has a 2% A rate and another that I'm taking down the road has a 0% A rating- with almost 600 test takers!! Yikes!
I had heard that ECEs were tougher than DSSTs, but that's crazy! Congrats on a job well done. :hurray:
Considering how close I came to missing it, I'd considering reading the primary textbooks recommended by Exceslior. Still, the 6% A-rate on World Populations is strange. IC and Specific Exam feedback has produced 6-7 consecutive A's... one of the reasons I was probably overconfident coming in.
