Quote:I took the DSST test in January...the curve is very forgiving. Even if you think you are going to fail, don't count on it or believe it until you finish the test. I scored a lot higher than I was expecting
I agree with the above poster. Sometimes, we focus so hard on trying to master EVERYTHING that we lose perspective. The lifesaving post that I read in the Specific Feedback section went something like this.....
There were certain concepts that were just not registering no matter how hard or long I tried, so I went back to the DSST breakdown sheet for the subject material and really broke down exactly what was on the exam.
What was giving me fits, made up less than 30% of the DSST breakdown. So I stopped trying to master subject material that I wasn't getting and focused on the material that I could handle. I did this for a couple of days, went and took the test and passed with a 61/80.
It worked for me. Good luck!!!
