peterson practice question???? - undrpressure4 - 03-09-2010
New user, great site. Just passed personal finance 439 using IC. Question I have is I'm now going for intro to Law Enforcement. I have taken two of the 3 Peterson practice test, scored a 48 on 1st and a 60 on second. Noticed there were a lot of questions on there that are not on IC or the recommended cliff notes. They say Petersons are a lot harder than the dsst test, is that true? Just curious. I've studied for about 5 days now getting ready to take test and don't want to fail!!

First of all, congrats on that Personal Finance pass! I've been putting that one off for entirely too long. Math scares me.
As for your question - Take the third test and see how you do. If you score up in the high 50's/60's again, I'd go for it. I always try and give the peterson's at least a 10 point lead over what I need to pass. If it ends up being harder than the real thing, I'm safe. Same goes if it ends up being easier.
Let us know how you do!
