dsst Principles of public speaking

[princykit]

Wow.. that was a lot harder than I thought!!! The written portion was a breeze. If you have the Art to Public Speaking book / website you'll be fine two additional websites that were super helpful:Public speaking ACE practice test and Ablongs' Principles of public speaking web sites. The speaking part however was tough. I wrote notes and ideas down for ten minutes. When it came time to actually speak, I got off to a great start but went through it way to fast!!! By 2 minutes I was already into my conclusion and had to keep talking ( I don't really know what I said...there was even a 5 sec pause!) to reach 3 minutes! Does anyone know how tough they grade theses speeches??? Is there ANY way that I could still pass in anyones opinion?

I Haven't gotten a grade back....however I did sign up at the local college to take this class. I can always drop the speaking course if I somehow managed to squeeze in a pass! Ha! Oh well.....chalk it up to good experience.

On a side note---how long do results usually take to come?
