    Default DSST Business Law

    Took and passed the DSST Business Law Exam and passed with a 65. I thought I'd pass on some comments and suggestions while it was fresh in my mind.

    It is certainly more difficult than the CLEP LL Intro to Business Law exam but not what I'd call hard. The DSST Fact Sheet for the test (or whatever it is called) is a pretty accurate representation of the makeup of the exam. The test had 93 questions and it took about an hour and half. About half of the exam is scenario based (with each scenario applying to only one question), five or six questions involved looking at a check or draft and determining who the payee was, who the maker was, etc., and the rest were traditional multiple choice questions.

    You should study issues related to Holder's in Due Course repeatedly, also the differences between Partnerships, Corporate make up, grey areas in sales disputes like tender offers and the concept of perfection. These are the ones that stick out.

    I didn't use IC much for this exam, although a review of the two scenario sections in the CLEP Blaw cards is probably worthwhile. I exclusively used the Barron's Business Law book and studied the chapters that were equal to the DSST Fact Sheet. The Barron's book is more than enough to get a passing score.

    If you have any specific questions, let me know and I'll answer them.

    nwbo,

    CONGRATS on such a great score on a difficult exam!

    That was excellent feedback you posted, and it is EXACTLY the type of feedback we are all grateful for. I will copy & paste it to the Business Law II section of the Specific Exam Feedback area.

    Well done on all counts!

    JoAnne

    Hi all.

    What's the passing score for this exam? Some sources say a "44" is passing and other sources say a "52"? Is it graded on a curve?
