Do you have to be in the military to take DSST?
#1
I think I could do very well with some of the DSST tests. Do you have to be in the military to take those tests and get credit for them. And can you take those at a clep testing center if I am eligible?

Anyone can take the DSST exams, only the military take them free of charge. You can read more about them and the testing location at their website and yes most places have both testing for DSST and CLEP exams:

Anyone can take the DSSTs only the Military can take them for free!

You just need to find a testing center that offers the DSSTs , and they are indeed open to civilians.

No - you don't have to be in the military to take DSST/Dantes exams.

As far as taking them at a CLEP testing center, call the center beforehand to see if they are an authorized testing center for DSSTs/Dantes.

For more information about the exams (and to find test centers), you can visit this website: DSST - GetCollegeCredit.com

Hope this helps!

DSST's are generally thought to be harder than CLEPs, since they offer quite a few UL (upper level) tests. DSST's are multiple choice, with 4 choices, whereas CLEP's have 5 choices. Other than that, really the only difference is the subjects offered by each company.
