DANTES going virtual...

[bxwhitse]

Oops,

I must have misread bxwhitse's original post. It seems they actually did take an online exam today.

Perhaps bxwhitse is already able to answer the above questions?
hilarious

Sorry about the delayed response, unfortunately life sometimes gets in your way when you really don't need it to.

It was timed, I was given 2 hours to answer the 96(?) questions.

The software was user friendly, like I said, the critical functions of the CLEP exam were there, multiple choice of course, being able to mark questions for review with a summary being available for review at any time. It appeared to hang a couple times, which left me nervous, and it took several minutes for it to wrap up once I hit finish.

I've only taken a couple of Dantes exams besides this one and can't say which one was more difficult, although all the paperwork including payment is handled on-line, so that's a relief. Instead of bubbling in your critical info on the test sheet you provide it as you're opening an account for Prometric. Also, my proctor was confused, thinking I'd get a printout at the end since my score was immediately reported. You don't; you go to: http://ibt.prometric.com/dsst and print it out after logging in.
