I took the Introduction to Business DSST. It was great! I
earned three credits toward my Business Administration
degree in about an hour. The DSST test I took saved me
countless classroom and study hours, as well as around
$400.00 for the three credits that I would have had to spend
for the real class. Thank you DSST!

Students who participate in Prior Learning Assessment (such
as DSST exams) are more likely to graduate. And graduate
faster!
- CAEL & Lumina Foundation for Education Survey
The DSST exams have shortened my length of time in college
by approximately 1 year. I will have acquired a total of 30
elective hours after I take my final DSST exam. These test
saved me a bundle as compared to what the actual classes
would have cost. The bottom line is it saved me time and
money. It was truly a win-win situation.
