I am wondering if it would be wise to attempt DSST Supervision and Technical Writing on the same day. I’m pretty much ready for Supervision, I’m good at English and I’ve heard Technical Writing isn’t too hard. Thoughts?

It's up to you, but I took a bunch of tests in the same day before and did fine with it.

Some people have taken many tests in one day or over a few days, but I've been happy with taking them in pairs of two or three. I don't think the subjects being in different areas is a problem either as long as you're ready. I've taken these together:

-CLEP A & I Lit and DSST Business Ethics & Society
-DSST Intro to Business, Human Resource Management, and Intro to Computing
-CLEP Management and CLEP Info Systems
-DSST Technical Writing and DSST Environment & Humanity

Passing the first one seems to help you stay motivated to finish the next one too!
My completed "non-traditional" credits include 27 credits from CLEP, 30 credits from DSST, 6 credits from ALEKS, 19 credits from FEMA courses including PDS, 3 credits from NFA courses, 10 credits from ACE Workplace Training, 3 credits from a TESC TECEP exam, and 3 credits from a TESC PLA course.

You will be fine. I know a lot of time people say it all depends on your strengths and what your interests are. I will spare you all that. Just doit. With your test scores across the board....technical writing will be a breeze. Both these tests in one day is very manageable.

Know thyself. Has it been done? Sure. Some have taken more than two tests in a day. What do YOU think that you can do? If they were my first two tests, ever, and I didn't have any time constraints, I'd take them on different dates just to make sure I had things down pat. If I'd been taking tests, or there was a time constraint, I'd say go for it.
