Awesome, thanks! Love these!

On the CLEP side it looks like the computer tests are easier than the pen & paper tests. It also looks like you should stay away from Chemistry, and apparently Spanish is a give me tests (
I'm assuming a lot of native speakers must be taking this test.).On the DSST side some tests are easier as computer based tests but others are harder, so nothing to go on. Principles of Supervision looks like the give me test on the DSST side, and it looks like you should stay away from Business Mathematics. And what is the deal with Principles of Public Speaking?

Keep in mind for Supervision there are many many schools that teach supervision as you rank up. Average start at 3 years in the services.

:coolgleam: Thanks for posting those! And do they not offer some tests on paper? Several DSSTs are missing from the list. I would've liked to see MME and Soviet Union :p

Just computed something.
For CLEPs and DSSTs combined, the total tests taken (by members of the DOD) in 2009 was 70,312. In 2012, it was 94,604. That's a 34.55% increase in tests taken. Not too shabby. (tried getting the info for 2011, but couldn't access the pdfs. I'll have to search for it later)
Something tells me that "testing out" is becoming a more popular option (at least by the members of the DOD). Slowly but surely... slowly but surely.

MME and Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union are on page 2.

Probably because the tuition assistance cap hasn't been increased in ten years. It's getting harder and harder to find schools under the cap.

I was wondering when these were going to come out. I was searching the site weekly.
