DSST questions
#1
So I'm taking my first DSST (History of the Soviet Union) tomorrow. I'm woefully unprepared, but that's okay because the only reason I'm taking it at this juncture is because of the free retake promo they're doing right now. I figure I'm a pretty good test-taker and I only have to get 42% to pass, so if I luck out and pass then I've saved myself some effort in the future, and if I don't the only thing I've costed myself is a few hours of time.

Anyway, I'm wondering if I'm supposed to create my DSST account now from their website or not until I get to the test center?

Create it from the website and bring your login and password. Make sure you select the school for your score report. I found it sort of hidden.

So I passed with a 457, but I was an idiot and thought I had written down TESU's institution code but I hadn't. Which cost me $30 - bummer. And now when I'm trying to download the form to order a transcript the link is broken. Anyone know where I can get the transcript order form for my DSST?

It looks like their entire site is borked currently. Their phone contact (according to Google) is 1-877-471-9860.

That's what I was trying to save you from, because I did the same thing Sad Their form is tricky.

I ordered my transcript too long ago to be helpful. You may want to order it by phone if that's allowed.
