I'm trying to test out of Statistics. I CLEPed out of College Algebra and had no problem. I'm doing really well with the flashcards and I took the free practice questions on the DSST websites and did great. Then I took the paid 50 question practice test from DSST and failed it miserably. Almost half of the information on it was not covered by the flashcards.
Has anyone taken it and passed using only Instantcert? I really don't have time to fail and re-test this one!

Spend $20. Buy the 3 Peterson exams. They're golden for this one! If haven't, you can brush up on some some stuff and review the links in this (free) study guide: Principles of Statistics DSST Study Guide - Free-Clep-Prep.com
I'd also recommend running through the Specific Exam Feedback for this if you haven't already.
Since it's a DSST, you can use a discount code to get $10 off of the DSST. (NEA10OFF is a code you can use). So think of the Petersons practice exams as being only $10. Twice as much as you paid for the official 50 question practice test, but you get 3 tests, not one. Get unlimited access, as well as explanations. =D
Good Luck!

Awesome! Thanks for the information. What is the link for the Peterson's practice exams? I've been searching for them, but I can't find them.

I also recommend you do actual lessons, khan academy. You can do exercises on their site afterwards.
**Edit: I just want to say, flashcards is a horrible way to learn math. It's pointless, in my opinion, to memorize the contents of a card for a math problem, especially when many equations will simply be given to you anyways.

What I did to pass was memorize IC, learned almost everything in the feedback, and khan academy.
