My first DSST Exam - Here's to your health

[shady]

I just took the Here's to your health exam today and just wanted to share some things I learned. This was my first exam through Dantes/Clep so I was nervous and probably not as prepared. Thankfully, I got 423!

I am attaching a document that was posted prior by a student in October (Please look at next post below). It was super helpful! After I reviewed the document, I did the IC flashcards. It was definately worth the $20. I listened to the MP3 of the flashcards and later tested myself with the original flashcards. This way, I was able to listen to the information and visually see it.

I also paid the $5 to DSST - GetCollegeCredit.com to take the practice exam. They let you take the same test twice, so that way you can learn from what you missed.

I was nervous from reading the negative reviews for Instantcert, but from my experience...it was a great refresher for information that I've learned in the past. There were things that I did not know and had to do some google searches to learn more. I found that my previous courses in Physiology, Virology, Microbiology really helped my understanding of the material. However, if you don't have previous biology knowlege, I would suggest doing the IC flashcards slowly, try to understand the information and google search topics you don't understand. I would do the flashcards early on and take your time!

Best wishes on your studying!
