Are they both electronic, multi choice?For both World Religions and Western Civ I, I used a textbook. The Jackson Spielvogel textbook for Western Civ is particularly excellent. I was unable to read through all of it, but what I did read was engaging and helpful.
Also, did you use any study material besides IC?
DSSTs are electronic at most testing centers, but a few centers remain that use a paper-based version. Just ask your testing center to make sure (since they'll have to order paper tests beforehand).
CLEPs are 90 minutes, DSSTs 120 minutes. DDST's format is far more updated than CLEP's, but they work through the internet so that there is a tiny bit of lag time between questions. I think it's negligible, but it takes getting used to after taking a bunch of CLEPs.
