DSST Soviet Union returning January 2016
#1
Received notice from DSST that the exam "Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union" is scheduled to return in January, 2016. I am not sure about the status of other "refreshed" exams. Exams that were "retired" are gone for good.
BA - History, TESC
CLEP: Introductory Sociology (59), American Government (63), Biology (57), Principles of Macroeconomics (68), Principles of Microeconomics (71), History of the United States I: Early Colonization to 1877 (67), History of the United States II: 1865 to the Present (61), College Algebra (54), Introductory Business Law (66), College Mathematics (59), Humanities (57), Social Sciences & History (69), Natural Sciences (60), Spanish (55), A/I Lit (59), Western Civ II (53)
DSST: A History of the Vietnam War (449), Civil War/Reconstruction (438), Ethics in America (462), Intro Business (435)
AP: English Language and Composition, American Government, US History
Uni of Northwestern: Western Civilization
TECEP: Political Science, Computer Concepts, Comparative Politics, Environmental Science
UExcel: World Conflicts
Currently working on: ...UL history?...

109 credits down, 11 to go!

This is great to hear. Not only is this a cheap and somewhat easy UL non-western history credit, It makes it achievable and affordable to completely test out of the TESC History degree electives again with the following test:

DSST Civil War and Reconstruction (LL at TESC)
DSST A History of the Vietnam War (UL at TESC)
DSST Soviet Union (UL)
ECE Conflicts since 1900 (UL)

All for ~$500 for all the test or ~$150 if you're using DANTES funding.

so do we have to wait for the big 3 to evaluate this "new" exam ?

or will they treat it exactly as if it were the old exam

Keep wondering when the Money and Banking and Gen Anthro will come back.

That's great for TESC's History Degree electives, but how about the new requirement for that degree? • Historical Methods/Historiography is now required as of July 2015. How does one fulfill that requirement? TESC doesn't even have either one of those classes.

Currently enrolled at COSC and I got an email indicating this DSST is going to remain/return as a UL 3c history credit there. In case anyone was wondering!

That's great. Any word on when it will be available to purchase again?

I still haven't seen anything saying the new release date. As of today it's still showing as in revision.
