Should I pass the DANTES/DSST "Principles of Statistics" exam before I go for Thomas Edison's Operations Management exam? Thanks.

mstcrow,
I took both DSST Statistics and the TECEP Operations Management exam (I took Statistics in August and Ops Mgmt in early December.) When I got done with the Ops Mgmt exam, I was mentally wiped out and I remember thinking afterwards that this exam was even
harder than Statistics (at least for me anyway).
So..to answer, your question, it can't hurt to take Statistics before the Ops Mgmt exam (although I wouldn't advise taking them back to back). Having said that, I would HIGHLY recommend as an alternative that you look into the CSU Operations Management course that several IC members have taken. What from what I have read and learned about it, it definitely sounds MUCH more doable.
Just my two cents' anyway.
