Decent study guide
| Customer Rating: | | Pretty good to prepare you for the DANTES exams. I passed three of the exams just by using this guide alone. I would suggest using this with some other subject specific study guides. |
Decent Book/Ethics in America Test Review
| Customer Rating: | I would like to take this opportunity to talk about all the aspects of the Ethics in America test, because that is what many of you are buying this book for. I took the test, and passed easily. This is primarily because the test is largely yes/no, and you only need to get 46 out of 112 questions right to pass. Since you have a 50% chance of getting a yes/no question correct, statistically you should get 56 questions right just by chance, which will cause you to pass. (This analysis is not complete, as there are a few multiple choice questions with four options.) Therefore, you should take this test even if you don't feel all that well prepared.(It's only $70, why the hell not do it? The worst that you can do is not pass.) Learn the definitions of utilitarianism, Kantian ethics, deontological, and consequential, and you will do very well. (I would venture that if you know the definitions of these terms, you will get approximately 75% of the questions correct, well beyond passing. Many questions are of the form: "From a utilitarian perspective, is the person's actions moral?" Then it proceeds to give a moral situation.) As a final caveat, DSST is updating the Ethics in America exam, and I have no clue about that test. So if you get a test that doesn't look anything like what I am describing, don't blame me!
Next, the DSST will sell you a practice exam. It looks nothing like the exam I was given for the actual test, and it was chock full of bad questions and ill-defined terms. Unless they do something to fix that atrocity, don't pay DSST the $20 for the practice exam. The practice exam given in the book that I am supposed to be reviewing is the best you can get. However, it tests more "factoids" than the test that I received-and not enough "yes/no" questions.
There is a Rudman's Questions & Answers for Ethics in America book that you can squander your money on. This book consists almost entirely of factoids, and as many reviewers have said on that page, those practice tests are nothing like the actual test.
Finally, I would recommend reading the Ethics in America book by Lisa H. Newton, as I saw a few concepts from that on the test, as well as Jacques P. Thiroux's Ethics Theory and Practice, Eighth Edition. If you read these two books, you will do fine on the test, rack up your 3 credits, and not have to put up with a philosophy professor. |
DSST
| Customer Rating: | | DSST Success Used this text only for Ethics. Past the test without difficulty, however could not tell I was passing it while taking the test. |
not satisfied
| Customer Rating: | | I purchased this for the Principles of Finance. The review information was only basic common knowledge. Yet the exam was very precise and difficult. I would not recommend this book. |
Excellent resource
| Customer Rating: | I passed 6 (the 7th was with assistance from a text book) of these 8 tests using only this book, although it would help to use supplemental material. I passed 7: Business math=69 (with supplemental text book); Ethics in America=47; Human resource Management=50; Introduction to Business=60; Organizational Behavior=50; Personal Finance=61; Principles of Supervision=58
I was not eligible for the eighth test. All tests were passed on the first try. The necessary passing scores range from 46-49. |
