DSST time and number of questions - Mian - 04-11-2011
Does anyone know where I can find info on how many questions and the time allowed on DSST exams? Their website is so not user-friendly.

With DSST you will have 120 minutes but the number of questions can vary. With CLEP it is 90 minutes. If I remember correctly, DSST has 4 multiple choice answers to choose from and CLEP has 5 - someone can jump in here and correct me, if I have these backwards.
If you are a member of InstantCert you can sign in a second time and then you will be able to see the "Specific Exam Forum" for members. Once there, to the right at the top is an area where you can search for a specific test and get the various versions and approximate number of questions, as well as lots of information from those members who have taken the tests before on what to expect, what to study in addition to the IC cards, and sometimes they even share their study guides.
Personally, I prefer DSST because there is more time. Just cuts down on the stress a little.
