Pass Rates

[Mamasaphire]

I agree with much that has been said. First, I have no intensions of changing my test schedule over these results. For myself, I know that I can pass any test I want. It's just up to me to study hard enough and make the grade; So, I guess that is kind of a lazyness thing. The military guys do lower these averages because of the sheer amount of cold test taking going on.

.....

All in all I agree. The actual overall PR averages on this report are much lower than our IC client standards; So I would not freak out, but I do feel that these can be used wisely if put into the correct perspective.

As for me, I'm not changing my line up.

I can't change my line-up either, but it is a wake-up that shows that many of the tests really are significantly harder.

Like for instance, I took "Here's to Your Health", and I am an adult in my 30's who is a homeschooling parent and also works in the medical field. I reviewed the IC real quick and took the test ending with a 439 (IIRC... it could have been 10 above/below that). With the old test, from what I've read almost anyone who had some common sense and real life experience could pass with a decent score. I am not complaining, I did pass the revised version, but it was a HARD test because of all the percentage questions, even for me who is in the medical field!

Anyway, no amount of talking about it will change things, but yes I am glad for this forum and IC, and yes I am still pretty nervous about taking the revised DSSTs
