I have a different view. I have taken about 10 cleps and only 3 dsst exams and I feel that dsst's are way easier than cleps. While taking the dsst exams I have never really felt that they were even a little bit hard. Even when I sat the dsst upper level exam " Civil War and Reconstruction" I felt that there is know way this is an upper level exam. Come to think of it I just realized why I felt they were easy. These are the 3 dsst exams I have taken.
1. Principles of Supervision : I sat this exam right after taking clep "Principles of Management
2. Intro to Computing : I sat this one right after taking clep "Info Systems"
3. Civil War and Reconstruction: I had previously taken clep US History I and II.
So I guess it was my previous knowledge and IC that helped to make the dsst exams only appear to be extremely easy. I will get my first true test in about a week when I will take dsst " drug and alcohol abuse" then I can give a true assessment of the difficulty of the dsst exams.
