I'm hoping to pass the Vietnam DSST after another few weeks of studying, but will use this as a fallback if I don't pass. I've watched the Battlefield Vietnam documentary on YouTube and have read the posts in the exam feedback area for study aids, but I'm getting more nervous the closer I get to taking it since passing it will complete my requirements for graduation. Was the course difficult or lengthy? Would I be able to complete this in a weekend?
I need to knock out an Upper Level course and a History course to complete my requirements, and UMUC should transfer this as a 300-level class, which is why I'm asking about this specific one as it fulfills both requirements.
I took Vietnam DSST a few months and used only the IC flash cards and the specific forum and the study guides in there. I was a little nervous myself, but found the the test to be very easy. I don't think you would need the study.com course at all, because you will pass the test!!
Did you have the IC flashcards memorized? I've watched the Battlefield documentary and did some of the IC flash cards so far. I've been able to get an 80 on the free-clep-prep test after watching the documentary, but not sure if I'm ready to take the real thing or not.
I did not have the flash cards memorized, just knew the jist of them. The study guides within the the specific thread are the biggest help along with the feedback. I also used the practice exams here: http://www.free-clep-prep.com/Practice-DSST-Tests.html
I thought the test would be harder than I thought also, but was surprised how well I knew the content. If you are getting 80 on the free clep tests, you will do fine, schedule your test and take it.
