what is all this talk about the tests changing?

[sunniemerrill]

tests changing from what to what? and did this change already take place? if so, what's the time frame that it changed in? like last month or 2 years ago? i see some people saying they got a 70/50 for the world religion class and some saying they got a 450? i don't know what that means. i can understand the 70 is well over the 50 needed to pass, but how does someone get a score of 450? sorry for all the newcomer questions, but i'm just sort of freaking about being prepared and i don't want to study stuff that isn't going to be on the test (for example on the old test, but not on the new one).

thanks,
sunnie

Some (not all) of the DSST tests changed this year.

The website DSST - GetCollegeCredit.com has a list of the new tests. Look on the right hand side of the website as you enter there is a link that says "new scoring information for 10 DSST Exams"

You should have the choice of taking the old one or the new one when you sit the test. Go for the old one, as almost noone has taken the new one. The new one is in BETA so they score from 200-500 with 400 a pass.

Yeah, some of the test centers will give you a choice. Unfortunately, my last test was effected. I did'nt have a choice at my test center. The way I look at it. A test is a test. Study HARD w/ the materials DSST, IC etc..Then test hard. Don't sweat it. I have not gotten my scores back yet but I'm sure I did fine. Hope this helps.
