I have been studying with IC for the past two weeks on Statistics but cannot answer most of the questions I see or Pearsons on the subject. I am worried I will fail if I proceed to take the exam. Has anyone taken and passed the DSST for Statistics? Was IC enough? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

I haven't taken it, but see the Specific Feedback forum for test-specific details.
I took ALEKS stats for $20, no stress.

This is from the wiki link in my sig: http://degreeforum.wikia.com/wiki/ALEKS
ALEKS is accepted at the Big 3. If you are not going to them it may not be accepted by your school, but for $20 a month it is a great tool to help you study for a test.
Don't forget to check out KhanAcademy.com and PatrickJMT.com as well.

I took the Principles of Statistics test today and by God's grace I passed with a 443 point. I just want to say thank you so much for your feedback. KhanAcademy combined with Instant Cert, and God's grace gave me this victory. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

I took the test and I PASSED!!! 452!!! While taking the test, I thought I was not going to get a passing score because I did not have enough time to spend on each question so I had to guess on the ones that I skipped over. I had been studying last week by reviewing the practice test and study material I bought from the Dante's website, then I few days ago I found instantcert so I decided to try that also. I do not think I would have passed if it had not been for instantcert!!!! After spending the weekend going through the flashcards again and again, I took the practice test again last night, then wrote down the equations that I actually knew how to use so I could review those on the way to the testing center. I wrote down those equations right when I started the test, which was EXTREMELY helpful and time-saving. Best of luck and don't stress out as much as I did!!!!
