More Tests Available through DoD Gateway than Indiana Library - cframe - 01-31-2011
Peterson's practice exams can be accessed three ways:
1. FREE through the Indiana Library gateway INSPIRE Information - though the list of DSSTs offered is limited. If your local library subscribes to online Testing and Education Reference Center such as Learning Express, look there as well.
2. Directly, paying $20 per exam Home [COLOR="Red"]which lists more DSST practice exams not available if you come in through the Indiana Library gateway.

3. BEST: FREE through the same site as #2 by first setting up a free account. NOTICE: All service members, regardless of activation status (active, retiree, contractor, or civilian) and their families are eligible for this service.

Thanks for posting. I know that they mention it on free-clep-prep.com, but for anyone who goes through the Indiana library website, don't use internet explorer. I can only get it to work about 50% of the time, but it always works on Google Chrome. (Probably firefox too... I have no idea.)
Just wanted to mention in case anyone has difficulties.

I finally figured out why I kept getting an error on the Peterson's site. You have to enable 3rd party cookies for it to work. I kept getting the dreaded 500 error. I followed Peterson's directions about adding nelnetsolutions.com and ilrn.com to the accepted sites. It still didn't work. I downloaded Firefox and it worked with that program.
However, when I changed the settings in Explorer 8.0 to accept 3rd party cookies; the site worked fine.
This also works on the sparksnotes site. Over the weekend they added new video ad content which after being forced to watch, wouldn't go away.
I finally emailed them and the webmaster said to change the setting for 3rd party cookies; I did and both sites - peterson's and sparknotes works fine now.
I intend to change back the settings and only use them on Peterson's and sparknotes.
All is now right with the world!
