Testing centers open on Saturday? - PeteDude - 09-11-2007
Howdy, all:
I'm looking for CLEP/DSST test centers that are open on Saturday, as I may have a "testing spree" coming up soon and not be able to break away to do it. I'd prefer centers in Southern Cali, but as I'm anxious to wrap my AA soon I might hop a flight if need be.
Anybody know of any?
I'll keep looking. . .

I believe Woodbury in Burbank was open on the weekend--although it may have been Sunday.

Northampton Community College (610-861-5329) is where I took all 10 of my CLEPs (they don't do DANTES). 745am-1000pm Mon-Thurs, 745am-500pm Fri, 830am-430pm Sat, 100pm-800pm Sun. I have not had any trouble getting same day testing slots. The question is: do you have any other reason to come to Pennsylvania?
Have fun and good luck.Chris

Thanks! That's the best option I've gotten lately. I simply haven't had time to call all the colleges in the LA area on the lists, so maybe that will cut down on phone calling.

To be honest, I wasn't thinking East Coast, but I won't rule it out either. I have family in Florida.
I was hoping not to have to wander past the MidWest.Actually, the most likely scenario with an out-of-California test center is that I hop a standby flight out, take the test then hop whatever flight back. Flying to take a test is expensive, yes, but probably no more than taking a course from a highly expensive B&M school through the Internet!

Hmm. . . apparently Woodbury in Burbank is no longer an open testing center.
There's always a state university in Staten Island, NY.

On Saturdays, you can bet on San Diego State for CLEPs and a few of the University of Phoenix centers for DSST (call them up to find out which one is nearest to you).

You posted right after I ran across SDSU. I was bummed they don't offer DSSTs, but they may be quite useful for the next CLEPs.
The last few UoP sites I talked to seemed really off-putting-- they only had certain dates available every month, and you had to book like a month in advance.
Webster University San Diego only offers testing to its own students, I came to find out.
When I get time, I should probably investigate some unusual gems that might exist in other states-- like one test center in Oregon possibly open on Sat. night and one in Northern CA possibly open on Sunday!!

Thanks! I'll keep that handy. TX is about as far away as I'd want to go, if I had my way!
EDIT: I have since found Fullerton College that has some Saturday dates and have booked one for this weekend!! Yay!!
