DSST (DANTES)
The DSST exams, unlike Advanced Placement, are not built around curriculum, but rather are designed to test students' knowledge on a variety of college-level subjects, regardless of where they may have learned the material. Exams are developed by committees of college faculty.
More information about DSSTs, including descriptions of test content and sample examination questions, is available at www.getcollegecredit.com.
