I took one of those after reading an MIS book and I didn't do that well on it. For most of the questions I was thinking did these people even read the same book I did?
This is why I worried, on my pattersons practice test I scored a 54% and then on the 2nd one I scored a 49% :ack:
When are you scheduled to take the test?

I haven't scheduled it yet, I decided I'd find some more study materials. I used one of the recommended textbooks, but like I said the questions on the Peterson's test really made me question whether that was adequate!

The petersons are way harder than the real test!! Trust me I was scoring in the 50s but take the offical practice exam on prometric it seems like its more what the real thing is like.

What is gas? That's not something I've come across in my reading (or I read it and forgot it and now can't find it again)

Looks like a mistake. GSS = Group Support System. See link. Incidentally, found this link googling for "gss dss eis". Bookmark and study, that's what I plan to do when I take this test.

So far using InstantCert is not enough for ds, who's already passed the DSST Intro to Computing. What resources/books do you recommend?

I did not have any background in this subject. I posted my feedback here (scroll down):
