Hi Bama,

As others have stated, DANTES are pencil and paper exams. They give you a test booklet, a separate answer sheet, and usually some blank scratch paper. You mark the answer sheet by darkening the appropriate circles (A through E, but I think only A through D are used).

In general, DANTES exams have approximately 100 questions. However, some exams have fewer questions and some exams have more questions.

I just took Management Information Systems which had, if I remember correctly, 89 questions. I also took Drug & Alcohol Abuse which had 106 questions.

The exams are untimed (although I have heard some people mention that their test center allowed 90 minutes to complete the exam).

The test center mails your answer sheet back to DANTES HQ in New Jersey. It normally takes two to three weeks to get your score back in the mail.

Personally, I hate having to fill-in all those bubbles (even your name, address, zip code, and SS# etc., all have to be entered by filling in those darn bubbles). I love that the exams are untimed, but I detest the waiting period before I get my results.

Hope that helps,
