Didn't want to post this in specific exam feedback. I'm taking the DSST Criminal Justice exam tomorrow. I've studied IC, a study sheet posted in the specific exam forum, and made my own study sheet. I took the DSST practice exam and got 64% of the questions right. I took all three Peterson's practice exams and scored 69, 74, 72.
If you've had any experience with this exam, do you think I'm ready to go? Or should I postpone this exam?
Thanks!

I took this exam last month and with scores like that you are good to go. I didn't realize there was specific exam feedback in the forums until last week but now that I have found it, it has been a godsend! The only thing I would tell you is to be familiar with all of the amendments of the constitution and what they basically are for. I just studied IC flash cards for mine and passed with a 431 but, I remember there being a few questions about what amendment covers or talks about item XXX (ex. 13th amendment covers/talks about slavery) that the IC flash cards didn't go over that specific amendment and I wish I had glanced over a list of them before I took the test.
Just FYI - if you need another upper level credit after this take Introduction to Law Enforcement DSST (my college counts it as an UL Sociology course) the material is VERY similar to what you learned for the Criminal Justice DSST just more about the laws that you just learned vs. the police focus of the Criminal Justice DSST. A ton of the material was carryover from one DSST to the other one so it was an easy transition and I scored well on both of them. Good luck tomorrow!

Thanks for the responses guys! I took it today and scored a 452. Funny you mentioned Law Enforcement. I've scheduled that one for next week because of the reasons you listed. Then I'm taking World Religion and I'll be done with exams. Then I'll start the capstone and I'll be done!
