Anyone Know About Paper-Based DSST (Dantes) exams?

Hello. I am a new Instantcert subscriber. I have been just kind of checking everything out about exams for credit and working with my school to get a plan approved.

I have many testing centers in my city- one is only two blocks over. However they all say "This Location: Delivers paper-based exams."
The closest one that offers internet-based exams is a bit of a distance.

Does anyone know about these paper exams? Does the testing center grade them on-site or scan them in to some headquarters ? I see many people here know their score immediately, am I correct in guessing with print tests that isn't possible?

The biggest question I have is about tests that most recently updated. Do the print exam sites have the current versions or old versions? I saw on the Substance Abuse and World Religions DSST threads that some testers were saying "old exams are still floating around out there." So I wouldn't know which version to study for unless I go to an internet-based exam site?!

Have you called any of the centers? They could just have outdated Web pages. I took some paper exams back 10 or so years ago and exam had to be sent to DSST for grading, it took 1-2 weeks for results.
