Business Math DSST?

[bannister]

Any pointers on this one? I have Bus. Math, Macro, & Intro. to Bus. left. Trying to decide what order I want to take them. I'm in a time crunch.

Intro to business is pretty easy -- I'd just study for 2 weeks and take it.... uuhhh... Business math - know your math, but don't freak: DANTE has a great scoring curve. Macro? Have fun -- didn't care for economics too much. Anyway - I'd do Intro to business, then business math, then Macro.

I took this one on a whim without studying. Know how to calculate interest rates, and variable interest rates. Most of it was VERY simple math and how to read into word problems. I got NO credit for this towards my bachelors OR my associates. Other than Excelsior and TE, most colleges won't touch this one for cred. I got a 57 if I recall.
Don't sweat this one!

I agree with CDM. Intro to Business... I took that one cold (no study). I scored a 63 and I'm not a businessman. It's a lot of common sense.

Business math - I haven't taken an exam for it, but I took it in a traditional college. It should get your mind primed and ready for macro.

Macro - It will be the harder of the 3, but it's not brutal. You'll need to understand the Great Depression and how we got in and out of it -- a good bit of history. There's a lot of very helpful study material at Teacher Resources by Annenberg Media and SparkNotes: Today's Most Popular Study Guides.
