I took a World Religions practice test a few weeks ago through the Prometric website you identified above - it was $20 for 1 practice test (versus 3 practice tests from CLEP for the same price), 24 hours of access only (versus 90 days for CLEPS that are also available for free thru my local library), and had only 50 questions (versus 3 full sets of questions for CLEPs)! I'm am ambivalent as to whether it was helpful. It was my first DSST test and I wanted to see the format of the test and the way they worded the questions. So I guess it was helpful in that regard. Unless I was really extremely unsure of how a test is setup (tests with calculations for example), I will not spend $20 again for this.
If you are in the military and can do them for free, then I'd say it is worth it! Otherwise, unless you can get access to one of the few DSST tests often available through a local library account for free I would not bother to spend $20 again for so few practice questions.
