Great job, Rome! Luck wished on the college writing but you probably won't need it for the info literacy. hilarious

Finally got my score (69) yesterday. I challenged this one a few days after ECE Ethics: Theory and Practice. I used both ECE practice exams and DSST practice exams, and believe they were useful. The only additional material I used to study for the DSST ethics was in "The Official DSST Study Guide".

I just got done taking the Ethics in America today and I must say, I, like many others, definitely did NOT have a warm and fuzzy about this test. Mine was 111 questions long. 30 were 4-answer multiple choice and 81 were yes-no questions. Unfortunately, I won't know the results for about 4-5 weeks. My uneasiness is compounded by the fact that they had an essay portion if your school required you take it, but I didn't know if you had to take it, so I didn't. Because after 2 hours and 20 minutes of brain frying, I was in no position to to write a frickin' essay.
But looking back:
1) Instant Cert hit all the major subjects, but, at least for me and my test, usually boiled the answers down to two possibles, so I had to make many many guesses.
2) I recommend utilitizing Wikipedia and check out the many philosophers you'll find on the study guides and test, epecially Kant, Locke, Bentham, Mill, Rawls, and All Them Greek Guys! hilarious The test, at times, goes a little more in-depth than IC does, naturally.
3) I absolutely HATED the way the Yes-No questions were worded. They were very confusing to me. I'm sure they resurrected Shakespeare to write these dang questions. I wish they would sound just like regular people talk.
4) On the positive, your commonsense will most likely be your best guide to the yes-no questions. Though it is best to keep in mind the philosophers point of view, because many times they'll ask questions like "From Kant's perspective, is this a morally relevant issue....etc etc".
5) One more positive thing to yes-no questions, even if you're not sure about the answer, you have at least a 50% chance of getting it right!
6) DOUBLE CHECK WITH YOUR SCHOOL AND SEE IF THEY REQUIRE YOU TO TAKE THE ESSAY ALONG WITH THE TEST. It is a good possibility that Embry Riddle might require the essay, and if so, I just wasted a morning away taking a test.
Hope the insight helps. I won't know how I did for a while, so it's all a waiting game for me.

After 3 weeks of waiting I've recieved the results for DSST Ethics in America. 72! Yea!
Can't add much beyond what Rome and Blackhawk had to say. Their advice is right on target. Very strange wording for the questions.
I read up on some of the Greek philosophers at Wikipedia and used IC. Have a great day all.
