DSST Public Speaking

[lspahn]

I scored so low on my only DSST test that I think im a little gun shy. I have score 63 or higher on all my CLEPs and got a 51 on my Soviet Union test. I didnt have instacert question for SU at the time, so i winged it. I am schedule to do this one and DSST Ethics by the end of March

You mentioned you have 3-5 minutes to give the speech. Can you time the speech during the test with your own watch, or do you have to estimate it?

In my case, they set a timer that counted down. So in other words, you had to speak until there was 2 minutes left on the timer. Good luck.

Am i understanding everyone correctly to say that they didn't prep for this exam? If you did, what did you use? This one is next on my list. Thx.

I took this test back on March 17, still waiting for the results. Written portion was somewaht difficult. I got a copy of pass your class public speaking booklet on ebay. It helped somewhat on the content, but not much. As far as the speech, my topic was drug testing for work. Pretty easy topic, basiclly spoke for 4 minutes on why we should have it in my field. I will post my score once I received it.
