I took the financial management course with Penn Foster because I hadnt had finance or math courses in so long. This gave me the books and the calculator for the $55 a credit so $165 in total in a structured format. I would have had to buy books for DSST Finance as well as a calculator, pay for the exam, and pay the test center proctor fee. I am not military so it costs me $70 to take a DSST test. I think for what I would have spent on prep materials for the exam the cost was close to a wash. The book that came with the course was excellant. I need to verify that course price it might have been $185. I will check when I get home and let you know, unless someone else knows for sure right off the bat.
