I have not seen a cohesive list of the updated DSST exams so I thought I would post their announcement and list of exams with "new content."
Here is a portion of their announcement:
Prometricâs DSST Credit by Exam Program Launches with New Content
BALTIMORE, MD. July 14, 2008 â Prometric, the leading global provider of technology-
enabled testing and assessment services and the administrator of the DSST credit by exam
program, is excited to announce the launch and availability of 10 of its most popular DSST
exams with new content. Starting today, the 10 refreshed exams are accessible over the
Internet or in paper format to commercial and military students interested in earning quick
college credits for a passing exam score.
While the DSST program offers a total of 37 exams in unique subject areas, the 10 exam titles
launching with new content are: Substance Abuse, Introduction to Computing, Ethics in
America, Criminal Justice, Personal Finance, Management Information Systems, Hereâs to Your
Health, Fundamentals of College Algebra, Principles of Statistics and Introduction to World
Religions. A refreshed practice exam is also available for each title.
Regular content updates keep the DSST exams compliant with the rigorous standards of the
American Council on Education (ACE), which recommends the exams for credit, as well as
relevant to test takers and aligned to college curriculums. It also enhances the security and
integrity of the exams through prevention of item overexposure.
Hope this helps.
