Check out the specific feedback on that exam in the Specific Feedback section...I left suggestions there at the time but I don't remember it now to be able to help you. Basically it was....um....a really broad exam that covered a lot of stuff. That was helpful, wasn't it? Don't underestimate the exam by any means, but it is doable. My sister just passed it this morning with a 71. (She's weird like that, LOL! )

One thing that you might do if you're having trouble keeping straight what's what is to get the DSST outline for it and actually fill in some notes and comments on it. That's what I did...I pasted some stuff from IC into the outline and also a few other things from various books and stuff, so that I had some sort of a synoptic flow to keep things straight in my head.

Here's the link for the DSST outline:

The DSST Program : Students&Adult Learners

I found that IC was not enough for that exam. It was a great supplement and really helped but I also needed a book and some other materials to really prepare me.

Good luck!
