If they DO accept flexible DSST and CLEP, would pairing them into seperate testing days be sufficient? (allowing for proper training/preparation).

Testing Day A
1st Management
2nd Supervision

Testing Day B
1st Marketing
2nd Intro to Business

If they are not flexible, my local community college offers both DSST and CLEP, but you can only take 2 tests per month (3rd saturday of the month).

The only other way is if I were to become a civilian employee with Patrick AFB (Unless the KSC job allows civilian access since Cape Canaveral Air Force Station is the East Coast Space Launch Facility). I'll have to check into that, since I know Civilian Employees would receive free testing.

Hey there BMW. I was in the same boat with our local testing center (Singular) and no other options available unless I wanted to fly back to the states for every test.

What I ended up doing was going to the local dean of the college here on base and asking her to allow me to take more than one. I had already taken six or seven CLEP's at the testing center and had passed them all, so she knew I wasn't going to be wasting anyone's time. After a few weeks of taking two a day, they really started to work with me and scheduled multiple days for testing. I'm now known as the "Clep-tomaniac" here on base.

Granted we're a small community here, but it never hurts to ask if policies can be changed. Something you might want to try at your college as well.
