DSST practice tests

That is great news! Congratulations Andrew (Levi 1989)! That is an excellent score on your Statistics exam!

I am sure your feedback will be very helpful, too. I am glad to know that you thought the practice test was worthwhile.

Hi!

At TERC, choose "DSST prep".
Then the right-hand column says "online book" with that list of 8 subjects, choose "DSST: The Official Test Preparation Guide".
On the next page choose "Read book".
Then sign in and it will download a 400 page pdf guide.

I hope it helps you with your studies!

For Ethics in America, I would say the old exam is still pretty decent in scope, but the real test goes deeper than the Peterson. In other words, you would want to know more about the topics, but the variety of content is still a useful guide of what to cover.

For Management Information Systems, it's not bad but I recall some of the business issues and technology details were a little dated. If you can take it for free you can't go wrong. The $5 Prometric practice exam was pretty close.

Since I can't edit my previous post, I will put an update here.

Levi found a newly published Peterson's ebook. It has 2 practice tests for each of these exams:

Business Mathematics
Ethics in America
Fundamentals of College Algebra
Introduction to Computing
Principles of Public Speaking
Principles of Supervision
Substance Abuse
Technical Writing

Some of these subjects are different than the previous version that was available.

This version can be found on the online Peterson's practice test websites.

Thanks Levi!

This is an updated list of Official DSST practice tests. There are currently 19 available:

Business Ethics & Society *
Criminal Justice
Ethics in America
Fundamentals of College Algebra
Here's to Your Health
Human Cultural Geography *
Human Resources Management *
Introduction to Business *
Introduction to Computing
Introduction to World Religions
Lifespan Developmental Psychology *
Management Information Systems
Money and Banking
Personal Finance
Principles of Public Speaking *
Principles of Statistics
Principles of Supervision
Substance Abuse
Technical Writing

They can be taken through this website - ibt.prometric.com/dsst. It costs $5 for one day of access to each exam. Only wrong answers are provided with an explanation, but see hint below.

***Extra hint*** You can make 2 attempts at taking the practice exam. For my first attempt, I took it for real practice and got my score and the explanations to the wrong answers. For my second attempt, I left all of the answers blank so that I could print the explanations for ALL of the questions.

The official practice exams are always closest to the real exams, and for me, they are the best indicator of when I am ready to take the exam.


* These have been added in the last 18 months.
