DSST Physical Geology and Human/Cultural Geography

[RBOWMAN]

This is by no means an easy test. Refer to the SEARCH column on this site, punch in geology and you'll find some excellent postings. I used the audio-visual program that was listed as a resource and found it to be of significant help. the Rudman books were useful as well. It is , as you probably know, a 60 question test base with a great deal of attention given to :

1. plate techtonics
2. continental drift
3. the process of subduction
4. rock classifications and their mineral makeup
5. ecology, erosion, pollution, irrigation, desertification, and tropical forests
and all the other climate zones

I passed after three weeks of study and no real science background or interest level in the subject. I did however find it interesting and if you have a science background you will undoubtedly find it easier than I did. The very best of luck to you and pass the test ... Iam sure you will !!
