    Default DSST Practice Exam Question

    I went to the getcollegecredit.com site and ordered the practice test for Environment and Humanity. The score report listed the questions that I got incorrect but the rationale did not give me the correct answer in order for me to study with. For those that have taken these tests, am i missing something? At least the Peterson's tests lets you know the ones you got wrong and proceeds to give the correct answer with explaination. For example: the question would be "An oligotrophic lake is one that....., My response was: "is rich in nutrients". The rationale just stated "By definition. All but correct answer refer in some manner to eutrophied lakes". Well, since we no longer have access to all of the other answers, the rationale really doesn't mean much. I hope i've explained this and maybe someone out there can tell me how they used this tool to study.

    Haha. I am in the same boat. I've taken numerous DSST practice tests and they're all alike. They tell you what you got wrong and their "rationale" for it which doesn't usually help you any. Besides that, you can't even see the whole question on that sheet. What you can do is go back through and pretend to take it a second time. Then you can see the full answers, full questions. Just don't save it, and you'll have it to really take again if you want. I find it annoying to say the least, but it's all we've got really for dantes tests. So I guess we should make the most of it! : )

    Good luck!

    Default DSST Practice Exams

    Thanks Abby for that feedback, I feel much better. Now at least I know not to save the test in order to go back. I was just thinking that aside from Pass Your Class, there "really" is not much out there for DSST.

    Whew! Gotta love this forum.

    Have a great day!

    I took this test back in January and all you need is IC, passyourclass, and the practic test on DSST website. That was all I used and I passed the test with ease.
