My apologies, I was remembering the DSST study guides that you can get at the following link for free:
http://www.getcollegecredit.com/04learne...factsheets
In each link to a PDF file you will find the description, recommended study material, and 10-12 sample questions. I can give you the warning of not downloading the "study guides" from collegeboard, unless they've changed. I downloaded the US History 1865-Present, way back when, and received a "study guide" that was almost identical in format and content to the way the free DSST guides are at the link above.
The ones that you pay $14.95 for at CollegeBoard.com are set up the same as the DSST guides in PDF format with description, recommended study material, but with a few more practice questions, I've been told up to about 50 questions. I think it was 50 on the one I bought 2 years ago. I wouldn't be surprised if the people creating these guides were the same ones that created the DSST guides at the link above.
True. As I said, for me, they're being used as electives, but most degree programs have requirements for "general education" classes that can be completely covered by CLEP and DSST tests. Sorry if my rambling got confusing!
BTW, Admin, is this forum closed to non-subscribers to your site? Just asking because I don't want any info I give here to detract from your site. Some people (admittedly, I'm one of them) will look at every free resource and refuse to pay for anything the provider has that costs them. I also ask because they link above has info on that site about another testing assistance website and I didn't want to detract from InstantCert when it's the reason I'm here giving info to begin with.
Damn, can I be long-winded or what?!?!?!

Quote:As for your comment on elective credits only, it all depends on what college you're going through. Some colleges will let you fulfill 60 credits of your bachelor's degree through CLEP and Dantes--that's definitely covering more than just your electives!
