Free CLEP/DSST practice tests through local library! - IrishJohn - 05-21-2013
I went today to check out an REA book from my local library for a CLEP test I need to take, and was surprised to learn 2 important facts some here might find useful:
1. The library has free practice tests available for many CLEP and DSST exams on their website. All you need is a library card to access them.
2. The librarian needs to confirm this, but REA CLEP books might be available through inter-library loan if the exact title you want isn't at your library.
Check with your local library to see if these things are available for you as well!

This sounds like the Peterson practice exams -- offered under the database called Testing & Education Reference Center. Many libraries have a subscription to this database. Almost all of the CLEP exam titles are listed, but they do not have very many of the DSST exams.

You might be right, I do believe that section of their website is called this. Still, they're free and all the titles available give folks another option to take advantage of.

My library has these as well. They will also proctor my TESC tests for free.

Yep, it's a good resource. Not every state has access to them (seems to be state specific on whether the library system has a subscription), but those that do should definitely take advantage of it. DSST's have always been scarce with them though. Pretty sure they have something worked out with Prometric.
