I know the CLEP Human Growth and Development and the DSST Lifespan Developmental Psychology are supposed to overlap on content, but I was wondering if anyone has any feedback specific to the DSST exam. I searched the board and the specific exam feedback, but most of the info seems to be for the CLEP. I just want to know if there is anything I should know about the DSST.
I live in NJ and want to get an NJ teaching certificate from what I read on the state site the DSST will meet a reequirement, but the CLEP may not.

I thought this was helpful when I passed a few months ago.

Linda,
I studied CLEP but took and passed Lifespan as I wanted the grade -- you can do this, too. Just check out the postings on Lifespan and Google, like you usually do, anything that is pointed out.
The material covered is basically the same, just a different name.

Linda the material is pretty much the same. Just review the HG&D flashcards along with the specific feedback section. You will do fine! Good luck, although I doubt you will need it!
