AP exams and DSST

[lmnop098]

How similar are these exams? Can one even compare them? I ask this because I am taking the Environment and Humanity The Race to Save the Planet DSST exam and an internet site (don't have it) said that the AP Environmental Science exam is the same as the DSST E&H exam. Is this a fact? Anyone care to comment?

I don't know about these tests specifically but while they might be on similar material AP tests are generally WAY more in depth and more difficult than DSST or CLEP. If you are looking for study material anything for the AP would help you but I highly doubt the actual test is the same.
