Well I took the MIS test today and I passed!!!! I studied about 15 hours over the weekend and was able to sqeeze out a passing score!!!!!!! I plan on taking a test a week for the next 9 weeks, and this time I plan on studying in smaller time slots throughout the entire week, rather than cramming at the end.
The flashcards helped A LOT and I do not think I would have passed without them. I pretty much memorized all of the flashcards and then took all 3 Peterson's tests. The flashcards helped the most but there was some very useful information on the Peterson tests as well. I took the tests and then went through and looked at what answers I got wrong and then did some independent study of the terms/definitions/ect that I missed on the Peterson's test.
I don't get the people who are frustrated with passing by a margin of 3 or 5 questions - as long as you get the credit who cares!? I felt going into the test I was pretty computer literate, but I was pretty much wrong. My computer competencies had very little place in this test. An IT professional would probably have no problem with this test - but a general computer user like me will need to study!! All in all I felt the test was fair.
Now, onto Organizational Management DSST!!!
