Passed Foundations of Education - DSST
#1
I just passed Foundations of Education with a 64. I would have liked a higher score, but this is an "A" with EC so I'm happy. I only used IC and the specific exam feedback. I really didn't spend that much time studying due to a lot going on right now. I really thought this was going to be my first failure. This exam is doable. I did use all my time, which I don't normally do and actually ran out of time in reviewing my marked questions. I still had like 16 to review. I either would have made a better score or I would have changed correct answers! I have 2 more DSST/CLEP exams to take then I will be done with these. I do have 2 ECE's to take for my core & concentration requirement then everything will be done except for 5 classes & my Capstone. Slowly but surely I'm getting there. Things have slowed down a little due to a crazy life right now, but I'm hoping to get these last 4 exams done by the end of June. Then I can focus strictly on my classes and with luck my finanical aid will get approved and I can get the classes done by the end of the year! IC and this forum does work! Thanks again for all the support and great info!

Does anyone have a rough idea as to what they were looking for? There is so much to study. I just took Here's to Your Health and the discussion forum saved me. It helped so much. There isn't much feedback/information on this class?

Thanks

If you're referring to the Foundations of Education test they were discussing above, there are 2 pages of feedback on the test in the Specific Exam Feedback Section (must be a member of IC to view)...here's the link:

http://www.degreeforum.net/specific-exam...-dsst.html

The search feature is also a great tool on the forum as you'll quickly be able to read every thread ever remotely written about the subject; be sure to use the advanced search option to narrow down the search criteria. Hope this helps.
