There are like 5 left. The CLEP exams are all still there, but DSST just...went away. I think Peterson's maybe decided not to spend their resources on the DSST exams at all? Maybe there's just not enough people taking them to justify the cost? Not entirely sure - but it's not just military.Great points! I was wondering the same thing regarding others that I assumed offered these for free. It does indicate that Peterson's withdrew this free resource, which is truly unfortunate. I would also like to have more info regarding why the other exams don't have official guides/practice tests; you'd think they would if their ultimate goal is more dough. Though maybe the demand for some just isn't there like you mentioned.
Also, for whatever reason, they don't (and have never had) practice exams for all of their tests. Currently, they only have 23 out of 37. Their official exam guides also don't cover all of their exams - only 24 out of 37. Between them all, you can only cover 26 of the exams. No rhyme or reason why they don't cover all of their exams, I have always thought it was really weird.
