Nervous about DSST Principles of Supervision..... - Pip123 - 02-15-2012

So its the night before the test and my pregame jitters have arrived. I passed the principle of management clep last week and decided to take this test as my last management credit. Any words of advice from people who have taken the test?

I took Management first as well and took Supervision cold and passed. It has a really low percentage of questions needed correct to pass (36-41% depending on the test form), see page two of http://getcollegecredit.com/assets/pdf/DSST_Exam_Scoring.pdf if that confused you.

Just do some last minute study if you're worried and give it a shot.

Good Luck.

took it cold the day after Prin of Man- read every answer & you will be able to eliminate two using common sense, then choose the best of the remaining two. Even knowing nothing about the subject you still have a 50% chance of picking the right one. Good luck!

So i just finished a Petersons PT and got 82%. I’ve heard the Petersons for this test are too easy, but is that a good score? I can see a few areas I’d need to work on, and I’ll go over Unions more, but I’m looking at testing as early as possible next week. Thoughts?

By percentage to pass standards (used on exams with passing score of 400), it is the easiest exam they offer with a passing score of 36-41%. With your study and since you've taken CLEP Management you'll be fine to take it I'm sure.

You can try the practice questions listed on the DSST website if you want a new set of practice questions (they only have 10 questions):

Take it. You've done well in Management, you'll do fine on this test.

Go ahead and take Supervision. Like the others have said, you took and passed Management. You crushed it actually. I failed Management with a 48 and then after a day, I took supervision and passed it (never had a business background either). That's not only a high score on Management, but a very nice PT score. I have a hunch you'll destroy this one.

Thanks so much cooperalex2004, Later Bloomer and Publius! I have a couple DSST pdfs that have supervision PTs, and I'll go through them. Thanks again!!

Westerner, you should do well on Supervision. I think you are ready to pass it. You have studied and done well on Management and 82% is a good score for a practice test. When I did Supervision, my practice tests were also in the low 80s and I did fine.

Go for it!
