Passed my First DANTES Today - and Second!
Now I understand how it feels to get a passing grade and kill an entire semester's worth of work in a sitting! I took and passed my first two DANTES tests ever today - Criminal Justice and Fundamentals of Algebra. I feel so great about it that I couldn't wait to get home to set up one of those cool signature files that you guys all have!! 
No need to do details here - I'm on my way to the exam specific board to post, but lemme say one thing.... Algebra was NO JOKE. I was so frustrated at my lack of knowledge, and really upset that I guessed at so many... I mean it - I guessed at least 45 questions (of the total 79) and I wasn't even narrowing down.... I guessed 'B' 45 times. I can't believe I passed... just barely with a 47 (the exact req'd pass score).
Thanks to everyone for all the help on the Criminal Justice! Instantcert and this board was all I used!! Now here's my sweet new sig file.....
