In fact, I talked to Sally Homa today, she told me, as chet36 has stated. She could handgrade the test and call the school with results for $20. I called my academic advisor to see if she was okay with this method -- she was not. Also, does the school receive a hardcopy at some point if your scores are called in? I would think they would need a copy for their records. I suppose I will have to opt for paying the $25.
By the way, does anyone know what website I can go to if I want to take a mock DSST test? I am taking the Drug/Alcohol Abuse test on Saturday, 05/27/06. I have been studying my IC flashcards, the D/A abuse chart and I have a couple of websites I am going to check out as well. If you have information on a website that actually offers a mock test I would greatly appreciate your feedback.

I spoke with Sally today as well. I monitored my test via UPS and it arrived today. I wanted to make sure that it was graded ASAP; it turns out that they would not be grading again until Wednesday!!! I had filled out my form to request the FEDEX rush delivery for the extra $25 but this would only rush after the test was graded. I decided to instead pay $20 for the hand grading and have my results (actually just a pass/fail) called into my university. Even when paying extra they cannot give the results to the student, only to the university! Anyway, I just needed to know if I passed in order to determine if I would need to register for a class this summer. Thankfully I passed and only have 1 class left to graduate....hopefully I pass the Civil War. While the university does not accept a phone call as adequate data for the transcript, they will still send the normal test results.
