Statistics DSST question for those who used IC
#1
I have looked through the specific exam feedback several times but have some questions? Everyone mentioned to know the concepts but 90% of the IC questions require math calculations? I am getting down the basic terminology but math is my weakest subject by far and some of those equasions might as well by in Chinese.

So how close is the IC questions to the actual exam? I really need to pass this one! I need it to graduate and as a prerequisite for a MBA program.

The IC questions are very close to the actual exam....but I would take the 50-question practice test from the DSST website just to be sure about the question types and your competence in the subject.

When we say 'know the concepts', we mean you should run through the IC flashcards until you find a concept that you can't understand with just IC. That's when you start googling or reference the Specific Exam section for some tutorial sites. Learn the concept that way so you can move on, and keep going in that fashion until you know all concepts covered by IC. If you know nothing of stats beforehand like I did, it will take a while. Stats was the first and only test I had to reschedule and take some more time on. (Like maybe 2.5 weeks total?) Don't concern yourself with how similar the questions are going to be. Focus on knowing the concepts so that you can answer questions about them in any form they throw at you.

Well with about a day of IC I took the DSST and got 18 out of 50 correctRolleyes I know I need a lot more study time with this one and maybe a math tutor?

You might try the book Complete Idiot's Guide to Statistics...I've heard that's really good and my local library has a copy. (Pay no attention to the title...Big Grin .)

I watched most of the videos and found the book they were using for $10 at half price books. -Passed it. Never looked at IC
