DSST Principles of Statistics

[xn85turbo]

I took this test today written version and it took me 3.5 hours (there is no way people are going to be able to do the same test in the two hour electronic window version). I had 97 questions and all I can say is after 6 weeks of study (I usually do 1 week per exam and passed 5 in 7 weeks just before studying for this one) I think at best I got a 36 and needed a 48 but 2-6 weeks of waiting will tell for sure.

I had tons of Null Hypothesis (15-20 questions), I saw zero Z tables or one to reference, had chi square, correlation, heck I would say half my test came from "chance model & sampling and test of significance", venn, correlation regression, and very little on descriptive statistics (SD). I guessed at 80 percent. I thought I had the IC stuff down. I used IC, pass you class study guide (worthless and several wrong answers I am going to ask for a refund even if I pass, heck will even give them the correct answers), and The Complete Idiots Guide to Statistics (wish I spent more time on in this book).

If I fail I will wait to redo this after I finish every other class for my degree which is 59 more credits. This was the most awful test I have ever taken and all I can say is it shouldn't be mandatory for a degree that is not math related.

I hope everyone’s experience isn't like the one I had today when taking this exam.
