2.0 out of 5 stars Not a good choice of study material, September 14, 2007

This review is from: DSST Human/Cultural Geography (DANTES series) (Dantes Series : No. 62) (Plastic Comb)

I bought this guide to study over a two week period before sitting for the test. I spent about 2-3 hours per day 4-5 days of each week taking the practice tests, looking up questions I got wrong and making detailed notes. By the time I was ready to sit for the exam I could ace every practice test in the booklet. Imagine my surprise when I sat for the test and felt completely unprepared. I managed to pass, but honestly, I don't think this book gave me any kind of advantage, I just got lucky in that several of the questions on the exam were common knowlege or common sense. I would NOT reccomend this item for the Human/Cultural Geography DSST. The questions in the book are not even remotely representative of the exam questions. I would strongly recommend picking up an inexpensive used textbook and studying chapter summaries instead. It would probably give you better odds of passing. Basically, your $25 could be better spent elsewhere.

I did not find this book particularly helpful in preparing for the Human Cultural Geography Dantes test. Most of the questions in the book are not on the test. The answers are not explained and the pages are not numbered, which made researching and referencing challenging.

Although this provides topics that may be on the test, this is in no way preparatory information for the entire test. I took nine Dantes tests...passed them all. I bought this book for one test, paid for practice tests online for three, and just searched the web for the other five tests. If you review the Dantes course and all that they provide as an overview, you can search and study on those key topics and pass the tests. No need to buy a book that doesn't cover everything on the test.
