    Aw, I'm sorry!!! I had heard that that one was kind of a doozy so I opted to take Sociology instead. We feel for you!!!

    nrojas1018, tough break on Info Systems and Comp Applications. Might I suggest you try the DSST Intro to Computers. There is a lot of overlap between the two exams, so at least you can salvage the effort you've already put into the topic.

    If at first you don't suceed, pick another exam.

    I've heard people say that this exam was easy but I got the difficult version too. If it weren't for my strong IT background I would have failed I'm sure. What is surprising is that it's considered a freshman level course.

    I would consider myself a very computer saavy person and took this test last week. I passed with a 56 but was suprised to see how difficult this test was. You would think that this class and/or test should cover advanced concepts for Networking and Applications, not coding, programming, etc. I would suggest studying for this one for a day or two even if you are an advanced computer user.

    I also thought this was a hard exam. IC was enough to pass, but when I was taking it I was sure I was going to fail. There were a few basic questions, but the ones that threw me for a loop were the programming and networking questions. When I took a Peterson's practice exam I made in the seventies, and after a lot more studying I made a 59 on the real exam. Go fiqure!
