I just found out a nursing program I'm interested in requires statistics. I have a minimal math background, elementary algebra 10 years ago. Is it possible for me to tackle this subject using InstantCert? I don't have time to take a traditional class any advice for one with math phobia?

What study and test prep test materials would you suggest to use in getting ready for this test? I have the passyourclass materials, but is there anything else a nonscience dummy, like me, needs to somehow pass this test. Thanks in advance for your help. And how long will it take for an excellent memorizer take to get ready for this test and how many questions is it?

I'm getting ready to take this test on Thursday. In addition to the study material available here, is there other options available?

Additionally, has anyone else taken this exam that could give me some pointers?

TIA

Hey Everyone, just thought this info may be helpful.
I recently bought a new calculator for the Dantes Statistics test and was having trouble figuring out how to use the stat keys, :eek: but this website really helped as it actually explained what keys to push as you went through a problem.
Hope this helps.

[SIZE="2"]Just curious as to anyone's "Fastest Dantes Results" being received in the mail from date of exam to results in hand?[/SIZE]

Hello everyone. I just received my first DSST results (Drug and Alcohol). I scored a 65 using a paper version of I Study Smart and have also used I study smart material in preparation for the Civil War DSST on Wed. I study smart is $$$. I happened across instantcert while searching the web for less expensive study aids. This sight is wonderful! The support among fellow students is fantastic! I have a couple of questions, one specifically for Civil War test veterans, could you elaborate on your recent Civil War tests? what sort of questions you remember,areas to concentrate on? Secondly, Assuming I pass CW I need 9 additional UL units to graduate. I can take any of the following: Human Growth, Intro to Edu Psych, Intro to Bus law or Bus Law II, Rise and Fall of Soviet. I need to finish i the next couple of months were any of these offerings easier than others? Sorry for the long message and thanks for any help!

This is the test that I am currently studying for and I was wondering if anyone had any good advice for me? As of now, the study materials I am using are Instacert and a book called "A History of Western Society From Antiquity to the Enlightenment" by McKay/Hill/Buckler. Did anyone who took this test feel that Instacert prepared you well enough? Has anyone used the REA book for this subject? Is it helpful?

Thanks in advance!

I am taking the test in a few weeks. Does anyone know if you have to memorize all the formulas for Stats, or is it included in the test?hilarious

I'm a little scared of my test tomorrow. I have been studying the Instantcert material, but honestly don't understand all of it. Any words of advice for the test?

As concerned as I was about the Civil War and it's reconstruction. ..I can now report that it took me 45 minutes to finish the dantes test. I found it to be the easiest of the four I have taken and I can tell you for a "fact" that if your use Instantcert and Rudman's redbook you'll find the test to be absolutely free of surprises. Steve , thank you for the instantcert program it was never better than on this test. The Rudman's book nailed the question format that Dantes is famous for and all my worries were for naught. I f I don't score over 65 on this test then I will be totally surprised. I kept track of the number of questions I knew I had right out of the 111 asked and I had totalled a 68 at tests end. Yahoo!!!!hilarious
