DSST “Here’s to your health” I would like to take this DSST exam soon ….. I know absolutely nothing about the subject …. What should I study for this exam …? I’m under the impression that it is a really easy exam … any input?
Know what to expect The Official DSST study guide will help you out for most of the tests. I always used the exam information sheets to focus my studying to area in the outline. Know what to expect on the exam and you should pass it. This applies to all the tests you may take.
i wouldn't get too stressed about it. it's a gimme. i'm no smarty and i passed it without prep at all. JMO.
Ditto- Here's to your health was the first dantes exam I took. I picked that one after hearing how easy it was. I passed with absolutely NO study. Yes, Priciples to supervision is very easy as well. that one is in the OFFICIAL DSST book. I would highly recommend this book. I have passed EVERY test that the book covers! A+ from me http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0768906091/qid=1105639700/sr=8-1/ref=pd_csp_1/002-8316381-3820816?v=glance&s=books&n=507846
easy, yes- but never take any test for granted... I found it easy too like everyone else and so far the easiest out of the 10 standardized tests I took so far. However, depending on how bad you need the credits, a little light revision wouldn't hurt. Just don't stress about it. If you know a lot about health or esp if your a hypochondriac like me you should have no problem. I took it with Drug and Alcohol abuse and there was SOME overlap. Go to www.getcollegecredit.com , get the syllabus and sample test, glance over it, look up any topics your fuzzy on on ANY common family medical guide. Know the difference between types 1 and 2 diabetes and between osteo and rheumatoid arthritis for example. The subject material covered is rather broad making studying rather inefficient, but if theres a particular topic on the outline that your fuzzy on, just review it a little the day before. The pass rate is 69%, one of the highest. ***A word on levels of difficulty: There seems to be a lot of consensus on these boards on what tests are easy or hard: Heres To Your Health, Analyzing and Interpreting Lit., Criminal Justice-easy------- Geology, hard... Military pass rates tend to reflect this too..... HOWEVER- it all depends on your background. I also say this cause if God forbid you had a hard time on a so-called "EASY" one don't feel bad. You may later ace a so-called "hard" test no-prob. Intro to Computing had the hishest pass rate and I found it harder than others I took for example. One more suggestion for "Here's to Your Health" If a ? looks like you know nothing about it, relax and read it again carefully- common sense might help you narrow things down. If your smart enough to find and use these forums, you should do OK on this test .
