DANTES Subject Standardized Test (DSST)

Programs Section

Overview

Central Texas College Europe is proud to present DSST Testing at the National Test Center at Ramstein Air Base, Germany.

If experience is the world's greatest teacher, then your experiences may well qualify you for college credit. The nationally recognized DSST Program allows you to receive college credits for learning acquired outside the traditional classroom perhaps from reading, on-the-job training, or independent study. DSSTs offer students a cost effective, time saving way to use their knowledge acquired outside of the classroom to accomplish their educational goals.

Currently, there are almost 2,000 colleges and universities that recognize the DSST program and award college credit for passing scores.

Change in DANTES Procedures – Discontinued Retest Funding

Effective 11 December 2010, DANTES will no longer fund retesting on a previously funded exam title for CLEP, DSST and ECE paper-based or computer-based exams. As a result, Service members taking these exams after 20 May 2010 who do not receive a passing score must be informed they will not be allowed to retest as a DANTES funded candidate on a previously funded exam of the same title. However, they may personally fund a retest after waiting the requisite period of time. This includes spouses and Civil Service personnel of Reserve components and Coast Guard. Advise examinees that if they retake a previously funded exam without paying the requisite fees at the time of testing, their scores will not be transmitted to their respective Service transcript.
