They tell you what you got wrong but not the right answer. I just looked up other choices to figure it out. I really recommened the practice test since it is your first DSST. The sceen and way it is given is like the real test. It helped me to calm down some. Hope this helps, Elizabeth
Thank you for this info. I know it is a little off-topic, but you really feel the DSST Technical Writing practice test was worth it? The only reason I ask is, even though I am a proponent of gathering information and taking any practice tests I can, I have read several threads on this forum stating the practice test for the DSST Technical Writing was not worth taking. That the practice test didn't even relate to the real test and if people would have known, they would not have spent the $5 for the practice test.
Just wanting to clarify before I drop $5.
