Hi All,

I took Business Law II this morning. It was a bear of an exam. Not so much because I didn't know the material, but rather because the vast majority of the questions were of the "scenario" type.

As a result, you have to take what you know and APPLY it to the given situation. It's doable....but it's cumbersome and wearying.

The good news is that it wasn't quite as difficult as I had anticipated. If you know all the items listed in the DSST factsheet, you should be able to figure out the answers to LOTS of the scenarios.

Many of the questions SEEMED complex and intimidating at first, but actually boiled down to just needing to know a very simple term or concept...and then apply it.

Once again, I find myself uncertain about how I did on this exam. I think I passed, but I have no clue what my score will be. I wouldn't be surprised if I got a low score, and I wouldn't be surprised if I got a high score.

Studying for CLEP Intro to Business Law FIRST is definitely helpful. There were a few questions that asked about concepts I had already learned for the lower level exam.

Make sure you know EVERY item listed in the factsheet, and you should be able to pull this one off successfully. But you WILL need to have the ability to APPLY what you know, rather than just recall it.

I can't really give you any specifics for this exam. There were too many complex scenarios to try and remember now. Also, I am not sure whether I got the questions right or not, so I'm keeping quiet!

Just go down the factsheet and make sure you know every item listed.

That's the best advice I've got for ya,
