Welcome to the club! In general, there are less options from which to choose for upper-level exams--particular for business credit--so ECE HRM is valuable for that. I found the ECE tests--particular HRM and Org Beh to be more like true final exams. You can click on the links in my signature to check out my thoughts in general. So, I would suggest that if your GPA is most important, the DSST is likely easier to score an A. If you need upper level credit, the ECE HRM is a good one to take--particularly if you have any experience in the area. Of course, you could always study a little extra and get the best of both worlds.

In any event, I'm glad you're enjoying the forum and hope you're able to stick around and be part of it all.
