    Default Which are the fastest Dante/Clep Tests to take?

    I have a test tomorrow for Here's to Your Health, I will have about 2hrs-230min to finish the test. I was wondering would I beable to sneak in another test if I finished this test in an hour or so?

    So basicly my question is which tests have you taken that are short, fast and of course easy. I want to try to take two tests in 2hrs-2hr30min which is all the time I will have.

    weeeellll.... for ME - humanities was easy -- and I hardly studied for it. If you think you have a pretty broad knowledge of music/literature/art -- stuff like that -- you might consider that test.

    I don't know of any that you would be able to double up on without preparation. I took Here's to your health in about 45 min. though. I also took Drug and Alcohol Abuse in less than an hour, but I studied for a week or so prior to each of them. You can try something that you have a good deal of knowledge on if you feel comfortable about it, but I have always felt the need to study pretty extensive for each test. Good Luck

    I must not be that smart, I just took the Here's to Your Health Dante test, I failed by a point. I scored a 47, needed a 48. I read how people get high 60's or low 70's. I didn't even know that was possible when the highest you can get is an 80. Am I doing something wrong? I studied over a hundred pages of questions that came from the IC and thought I did great, most of the questions were straight from the material I studied and still I failed, did I do something wrong?

    This was the only test that I actually felt I passed and I didn't, kind of heart breaking actually. How do people score so high on this test?

    I am SO sorry! That's really hard. Dante tests seem kind of tricky: you think you did GREAT- you do horribly- - you think you totally failed -- you get a 65 +. I don't really know what to tell you. Was there a Peterson's test for this? If so, how did you do? Did you really GET the concepts, or did you feel a little shaky? I thought I was ready for the business law test - took the practice test from Dante- - did great --- thought the actual test was going to be easy.... and ended up flunking. The problem was that I didn't understand the concepts.

    Anyway - just move on - and start preparing for early June when you can re-test!!

    Well, I am sorry to hear about your fail. I failed Civil War and it played on my confidence level!! That said, I never score high. Ever. Some tests I study a lot for- others not so much- but I always get scores in the 50's. My highest score was 61 I think- that was Human Growth and Development. (my first test). I don't score high- but guess what? I have the same credit as the guy who did. AND, it's not like anyone is verifying your score. People report their score to be anything they want.... I'm sure you'd find a fudge or two.

    Wow that was great a 61. I just signed up to InstaCert and my first test is Human Growth & Developement. Please give me some techniques on how to study and what to study. Your help would be highly appreciative. Thanks!!! Byron
