    this is such a great quote, thanks for sharing.

    Has anyone else taken the Environment and Humanities DSST test using only IC. I've been reviewing the IC and ordered the Rudmans questions and answers. They are definately two different beasts. If Rudman's hold true to the exam then IC is way off the mark and is bare bones at best. Or it could be that Rudmans if way off the mark. I even went back thru IC and did comparisons. There is no way to answer even 10 percent of the questions using IC. Anyone have any insight.

    I took Environment and Humanity and passed with an A. I used InstantCert and PassYourClass. I've used PassYourClass as supplemental study material for a number of tests, and think it's usually a waste of money. However, I think it was useful with E&H.

    Chosin,

    I also took E&H and passed with a 70 using Instantcert, and some additional research on Wikipedia.

    Wikipedia is a fantastic free resource for researching terms, names, concepts etc.

    Best of luck,

    No need to apolgize..

    its time to bunker down and take another test..

    Biology would be a good one.

    But Astronomy would be another good one.

    I think they have a 4 week summer class starting next week or so that is very doable. Let me know if you are interested or need more info.

    Hang in there, you are SOOOO CLOSE!

    Yeah .,.. what school was that? LOL
