I am taking this test Thursday, it will be my first Dantes test and I am super nervous. I was under the impression that you got your "grade" or score right away on the multiple choice tests......am I wrong?

Huge THANKS for the insight and sharing.

Missy,

I am in the military so I get to take my test free of charge. The only downside is the test is on paper and they have to send it in. It normally takes about 3 1/2 to 5 weeks to get your results. It really sucks!! Anyway, I just wanted to add a couple of more things to:

St. Stephen- First Christian Martyr
Paul-From Tarsus

Good Luck on your test tomorrow! I hope you read this before you go.
