New DSST Exams - quigongene - 07-31-2018
Intro to Geology & Ethics in Technology are now up on the DSST page. Also looks like there's been some test updates as of yesterday.

That's awesome! Both exams sound interesting. Nice that DSST is keeping up with the times and changing winds of higher education.

DSST has been "keeping up with the times" since the beginning - they were one of the innovators, along with CLEP. So more like "ahead of the times."

RE: New DSST Exams - dfrecore - 07-31-2018
Just an FYI, they not only added 2 new courses, they upgraded 8 of them, and everything that was due to expire in 2018 has been renewed through 2023.
Also, it does look like Principles of Physical Science was not renewed at all, so that one comes off the list.
RE: New DSST Exams - Lindagerr - 08-01-2018
I asked at Coastal Carolina U. yesterday why they don't take DSST and the lady that knows all about CLEP told me DSST are not accredited???
I am just curious how many Universities take CLEP that don't take DSST?
Also if DSST is doing so much work on exams and updating why aren't they going after more colleges for acceptance?

CLEP is accepted by WAY more schools than DSST. A LOT more. Not sure why that is.
But the comment that they aren't accredited is just wrong - or at least, since DSST is not a school, they can't be accredited. But then, neither can CLEP. They are in the exact same boat - both are ACE-recommended.
