    Default MIS goes down...

    Okay, my last DSST was finished this morning...I got a 58...I believe that is an A at EC. This one was a toughy, but doable. I do not have a lot of prior computer knowledge. I did previously take the CLEP ISCA and the DSST Intro to Computing, so that helped.

    I did not find the questions to be tricky in wording as was mentioned in the exam feedback section. The only tricky questions were the ones that I did not know...

    Anyway, for upper-level credit, this is probably one of the easiest if not THE easiest exam out there.

    I used IC and I took one Peterson's practice test. A word of warning: The Peterson's practice exams for this subject are not very comparable to the exam. The practice exams go WAY to far and I found it more defeating than anything...

    That takes care of all my upper-level credits. Only 1 exam left...I can't believe it...I wonder if I am going to go through exam withdrawl when I am done...I am going to take my time with Humanities...of course for me that probably means 4 days instead of 3...

    You're definitely inspiring me BMills. I passed Business Law today and only have three tests left. I'm trying to keep pace with you. All I have left is Macroeconomics, then DSST Finance and Statsistics both of which have me very worried. Way to go!

    Thumbs up Way to go

    That's great I am glad it was not too hard. I am trying to keep track of all these exams that I may be able to pass so I can go back and take them if I ever go for my BA.

    Keep up the good work Bmils
