Looks like I have to give one more test to wrap up - Enviornment and Humanity. I have started studying for it, but what would be really nice is to get my hands on some practice tests. So far, after a lot of searching, the only place I found these tests was on the Dod site. I am not in the military. I did not see any option to puchase them from Petersons.- only CLEP tests are listed for purchase. So, is it that Peterson only provides those tests for the military and not for the general public?

Using
peterson's practice tests as a search string, this page was found:
CLEP Test
Unfortunately, a search of the Peterson's site did not reveal anything about DSST tests. Navigating the Peterson's site also turned up nothing.
Fyi, for CLEP preparation, the cost is $19.95 for 90 days of access for three practice tests. This is $19.95 for preparing for only one CLEP test.
63 CLEP Sociology
75 CLEP U.S. History II
63 CLEP College Algebra
70 CLEP Analyzing and Interpreting Literature
68 DSST Technical Writing
72 CLEP U.S. History I
77 CLEP College Mathematics
470 DSST Statistics
53 CLEP College Composition
73 CLEP Biology
54 CLEP Chemistry
77 CLEP Information Systems and Computer Applications

rmshr3,
Don't sweat over Environment & Humanity - If you ever had any interest in the environment, you will be surprised how much you already know. IC is a great study guide and so are the Specific Feedback recommendations.
Good luck.

Free-Clep-Prep also has it's own practice exam for Environment and Humanity for free. It's pretty close in difficulty to the actual test too!

Thanks for all info. I gave the test today and passed with a 64. I found the test easy but exhaustive covering a very wide area of topics. There were 2-3 qns that I had not encountered in the material I used to prep for the test, and quite a few tricky questions that required careful reading. Some of the questions were so 'granular' in its scope that there was no way anybody could have answered it unless they knew the material at a conceptual level. There were no questions on the names of the conferences, summits or all the hundreds of departmetns, laws, etc. There was the proverbial qn that everybody seems to get (what is mass transit).
I used the Env. Science book by Richard Wright almost exclusively for the test. It is an awesome book!! It is one of the recommended text book in the Dantes fact sheet , and it was the only resource I used to prepare for the exam. I read the book end to end in a couple of days straight. If anybody is giving this exam, I would strongly suggest this book. It is all the material needed to pass the test with confidence and a comfortable margin. Also, I did use the free-clep practice test. It was very representative of the actual test. I would recommend this as well. A couple of questions seemed almost identical.
All in all, this will go down as one of the easier (and interstring) tests. And unless TESC springs another surprise, I am done. If all goes well, I might just be able to post my 'all done' post in a few days.
