Dantes Exam
DANTES (DSSTs)
DANTES Subject Standardized Tests (DSSTs) are exams traditionally offered to military personnel, but are now open to civilians as well, that allow students to earn college credit. They are like CLEP exams in this regard, but the structure and offerings differ slightly. DSST exams cover a range of undergraduate-level courses.
DSST Exam List
DSST exams are considered a prior learning assessment in which you can test your knowledge of specific subject matter without taking the corresponding college-level course. This alternative route can save you both time and money, substantially reducing the timeframe and DSST test cost for earning a college degree. There are currently over 30 exams on the DSST exams.
