Hi Kate,

I would just roll through the flash cards and make notes on what was unfamiliar. Then I would group together the topics and just go over it until it clicked.
There were systems or processes that had multiple steps or requirements, and I would just list them in order and create a mneumonic...A girl named Padi U = Planning, Analysis, Design, Implementation, Use (Retarded I know, but it works for me.)
I looked for other sources, but didn't really find any that were very relavent. (I.E.-Wikipedia is pretty scarce on this one!) I did find some very useful info from previous postings, just search for them.

Good luck,
Cederic

I wouldn't have made it if I didn't make-up acronyms to Remember-Recall-Recite information. Looks like I have 3 new R's to add to my signature line -

Other Sources of CLEP & DSST Study Material

IMO, if you know anything about computers, this test is passable.

I never followed up on this one... For all the worrrying I did prepaing for this, I got an "A" on it. Just stay away from those "darn" Peterson's practice tests and you'll be OK. The actual test was much simplier than the study material. Just my opinion. GoodLuck, Lee
