What is DSST?

[BeeMarie]

I finally got a clue (sort of) and tried to figure out what DSST is. According to the web site, both my lower level and upper level colleges accept these tests, but neither of them administers them. I don't know how I'm going to find out information on whether I can use any of the DSST tests toward my degree.

Oh, and I was wondering, is DSST the same thing as Dantes?

Any clues appreciated!
