DSST

DSST exams, which stand for DANTES Subject Standardized Tests, were initially established for military personnel. DSST exams are now available to anyone who is seeking college credit outside the traditional classroom, including college students, adult learners, high school students, and military personnel. There are several upper- and lower-level courses available in a variety of subjects.
