Woooohoooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My girlfriend Anna is done!! She took her last and final exam, DSST Criminal Justice, this past Thursday, and got by with a 52 (you needed a 48 to pass). I also took this exam, (I scored a 51 - whew!) and we both thought there was a fair amount of material on the exam, that wasn't on IC. But, we didn't study super hard for that exam, so I would still say IC is enough to pass.

After we took CJ, I went on to take Intro to Law Enforcement, and then Principles of Supervision. My brain was so toasted when I was done!! I wouldn't neccessarily recomend that many tests in one day, but if they're related, and you can stay focused that long, it is doable. IC was enough for Law Enforcement, but there still seemed to be a fair amount on the exam that IC didn't cover as well. And as has been noted before, CJ and Intro to LE do overlap, so that was part of why I attempted the 3 exams in one day.

Principles of Supervision was pretty easy - with very little study (2-3 hours?) I passed with a 55 (passing: 46)

So, Anna is done! And for me: I've 9 three SH exams to go (27 SH's) - 8 exams if I end up taking the Humanities CLEP which is 6 SH.

This forum and study material is worth it's weight in gold - thanks so much for all the help folks, it would have been tons more difficult without all of you!!!

David and Anna

I'm actually planning on taking this exam tomorrow. Do you have any recommendations or what to expect on the exam?

Congrats to Anna!!

You're next David!!

Which exam are you refering to? If it's Principles of Supervision, all I used was actually the DSST printout that you can get free from the getcollegecredit.com website. I read through it once, answering the questions, then read over the sample q's and practice tests once more, and that was it.

The exam isn't very deep, and for the q's you don't know, educated guessing really eliminates several of the answers.

Don't sweat this one, you should do fine! Good luck!!
