Default Exam Resources (newbies READ this) (And before asking a question, USE SEARCH FEATURE)

Even as a "seasoned" exam-taker, I find myself referring to a post reply from Snazz where he lists some of the best online resources (other than IC, of course!). So, I thought it was worth putting in a new post so it doesn't get lost on page 2...

Quoted from Snazzlefrag:
Since you will be taking many DANTES and CLEP Exams, I would HIGHLY recommend that you purchase both Official Study Guides. This is because each one covers several exams in one book (See note below for free downloads).

Official DSST Study Guide ($12.95):

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...glance&s=books

CLEP Official Study Guide ($15.95):

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...glance&s=books

Free Downloads:

If you prefer, you can also download the Official DSST Study Guide and another good book, Peterson's CLEP Success, (free of charge) here:
http://www.petersons.com/airforce/books.asp

The Official CLEP Study Guide is available for free download here (Chapter by Chapter):
http://www.inarng.org/Education/education.htm

These books will be invaluable to you as you progress in your studies!

Individual Exam Books:

For each individual exam, you may also wish to purchase an REA, COMEX, Cliff's, or Rudman's book to supplement your learning. Read this board, or ask us, if you want pointers about which book is best for a particular exam.

Free Mock Exams:

In addition, online mock exams are available for many of the CLEP exams (free if you register):

You will also want to check out the free DANTES factsheet for each individual exam here (each Factsheet contains a breakdown of the exam and a handful of sample questions):

Internet Resources:

Finally, there are numerous free online web sites which provide study material for the various exams (read the board or ask us for details).

Thanks Snazz for the excellent info - I'm sure everyone has benefited from having these links all in one place.
