DANTES going virtual...

[Urbannaja]

My test center hasn't heard anything yet about DANTES going computerized.

Personally, and as much as I hate filling in those evil little bubbles, I am actually hoping that my test center doesn't go computerized until after I am done taking all my DANTES exams.

I LIKE that the DANTES exams are untimed and that I don't have to worry about the clock. This is especially true on some of the more difficult exams.

So, for me, the race is on to complete my remaining DANTES exams BEFORE they switch to the online version.

I can't imagine trying to finish Principles of Statistics, Principles of Finance, Money & Banking, Soviet Union, Civil War etc., in under two hours. I usually take about three hours to complete the harder DANTES exams....and I enjoy being able to take my merry old time!

Am I alone in this?

Probably not alone, but I seem to do better when I DON'T take my time. If you don't know an answer right off the bat, eliminate the incorrect answers and either make an educated guess, or C-out. Alot of second-guessing seems to just cause stress and frustration. It seems that alot of people take tons of time on questions they absolutely don't know, when there's very little chance of getting a better response by staring at the same question for 1 minute or 15 minutes. If you have time left over AFTER you've answered all of the questions, go back and look at the ones you didn't know...as you may be able to answer them now that you've seen the rest of the test. Just my opinion...I honestly don't understand how people can possibly take 2-3 hours on multiple choice tests (non-math).
