    Default Rolling the dice???

    Okay, so I am taking Org. Behavior tomorrow morning. I have used only IC and I did not purchase the practice exams or study materials from EC. I did just take the DSST practice exam and I got 75% correct, so that makes me feel good. I did do the same thing with the Ethics ECE and I got a B..but I am a little worried about this one...

    say a little prayer for me tomorrow morning...

    Based on your thread title, I thought this was a statistics question for a minute!
    Please, no dice rolling.

    Default Whew... that was close

    So, I just got back from taking Organizational Behavior and all I have to say is "Thank the Good Lord." I really winged this one...I should have studied more, should have taken more time to study and should have bought the practice exams from EC...but as I am nearing the end, I am getting really impatient and cheap...it's a good thing I only have 2 tests left...Anyway I got a C...

    I know that it is not a stellar grade, but it is a pass and GPA is not a concern because I am in the 3.3 to 3.4 range anyway because of prior college grades...

    The org behavior DSST and ECE are very different based on the DSST practice exam. I really had the DSST stuff down, but the ECE goes a ton deeper than the DSST. Of my 130 questions, I would say that half were questions that I really felt 2 answers COULD be correct. The ECE's are very tricky in that way. Another 40% of the exam I knew the answer for sure and 10% were total guesses.

    I was really concerned that I had failed it...I've never been so happy to see a "C" come across the screen. That is the last ECE that I have to take. For anyone that does not already know, EC exams are significantly more difficult than CLEP or DSST exams, but most of you probably already know that...

    I studied for 3 days going through IC twice and reading the DSST material as well as taking the DSST practice exams...total of 8 hours of study...

    I wish I could give feedback on the test itself, but because I did so poorly, it would probably be counter-productive. The main thing that I can say is that IC and the DSST material IS enough to pass this exam...but barely...

    MIS and then Humanities and I am done...WHOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!
