Here's another DSST exam that isn’t particularly popular. If I had to guess why, it’s probably because the mix of Geography and Sociology (kinda? sorta?) is such a niche topic. Unless you absolutely need this exam to fulfill a specific requirement, there are easier DSST options available that offer the same amount of credit. So, who should take this exam? If you’re planning on taking a course on sociology or something like the old World Population ECE (no longer offered) this DSST could serve as helpful preparation. There’s some noticeable overlap between the two, and many of the subjects listed on the fact sheet also appeared on the World Population ECE. I feel like a traffic cop saying, “Move along, nothing to see here,” but that’s not far from the truth. If you don’t have to take this exam, consider an easier alternative—there are plenty of CLEP or lower-level DSST exams that may better suit your needs. However, if this exam is required for your program, read on for more information.
