Anyone Taken New On-Line DSST Test Principles of Finance?

For some reason I had the idea that the paper versions were always going to be available if requested. I have to take this test and I was hoping to order the paper version. Does anyone know if this is true - can you still opt for the paper versions?

Hi Dawn,

I suspect that it is up to the individual test center to decide whether they wish to offer paper, computerized, or both versions. I can see why a test center would prefer not to have to deal with mailing the tests back and forth, if given the choice. But my local test center is still offering paper-based versions, so I KNOW they are still out there. As the CBT versions gain more of a foothold, anyone who prefers paper-based exams is going to have to locate a test center that has chosen to keep offering them.

Personally, I would have been willing to drive quite a bit further for exams like Statistics, Finance, USSR, Civil War, Vietnam, Middle East, Money & Banking, Business Law II, etc., if it meant that I could take the untimed paper-based versions.

Of course, we are all spoiled brats! Those who come after us will likely just accept that DANTES are computer-based (like CLEPs), and that they have a two hour time limit.

It's just a big deal for us, because we have experienced what it is like when the DANTES exams are untimed.
