I bumped into a website called: "sacramento test proctoring services" that has been approved to proctor all DSST exams online, so no more testing center for dssts... Has anyone used this service or any electronic services like this? if so please tell me your experience, and the name of the online service if relevant...
Thanksss!

I don't know for sure, but I don't believe this is a service like ProctorU, where they watch you take the test remotely. I'm betting that what they are talking about is that you schedule a time to go to their testing center and take the online/web based exam from their facility. This is opposed to taking the paper based DSST exams. I really wish that DSST, CLEP, and UExcel would move to an online version that can be taken from home, but I'm not holding my breath (you could die doing that). [One last thing: That dude on their website is one lucky fellow.  ]

DSST tests are delivered via the web and have been for years. You go to a test center and use their machine to access the secure DSST web portal. Nothing new about this. Sacramento Test Proctoring Services isn't saying that you test somewhere else. They are a testing center that you visit in person.

I have not heard of this being possible and have a hard time believing they are telling you correct information. The test candidate must appear at the test center's location and then they proctor you while you complete the online exam (internet-based testing). The proctors must actually log in once you have selected the exam title. I do not see any way that a company could offer proctoring services remotely for this program. DSST has to authorize all test centers.

Yep, just checked out their website. You still have to go into their location. They actually have a test center.

By the way if you are near Seattle WA, I suggest go to Marysville Columbia College they charge only $20 per exam as compared to U of washington they charge $45 a $25 saving per exam
