DSST Technical Writing
#1
Has anyone taken this recently?  I'm looking to fulfill my 2nd Written Communication requirement at TESU (already have Comp I), and their site shows this will come in as ENG-201, Technical Writing.  With DSST running the free retake until the end of May it seems like a practical and affordable solution that should be pretty simple to test out of.

I looked up the revision date, it was June 2017. Then I checked our Specific Exam Feedback forum and there haven't been any posts since the revision. I took it, but I'm not sure that my feedback would be useful. ;(

I took it after the revision in June 2017. Took it cold and passed with a 440. It was mostly just common sense if you have a firm grasp of English.

Quig, you should post your feedback, there isn't anything over there now.

It was my intention to use this exam in place of taking Comp II for TESU - that dream is now dead.

I believe she's referring to the paid InstantCert members' section, which many of us don't have access to (unless you happen to have an Instant Cert subscription)

jsd is correct- the folder for Specific Exam Feedback. If you can't see it, you're not a member. That sounds way more mystical than I intend it to lol.

Unfortunately I don't have a paid sub. I did it for one month and realized the flash cards weren't really conducive to my study methods. If I end up paying again in the future, I will definitely write a review of the Tech Writing DSST.
