Get College Credit For What You Know Already with DSST™
Passing a DSST® exam shows that you have fundamental and working knowledge of a college-level subject. This becomes a part of your permanent college transcript. Therefore, you do not have to pay tuition for that class, buy textbooks, attend class, turn in assignments or take mid-terms and finals.
DSST® exams can fit into the life of anyone pursuing a college degree, not just full-time students! Military service people, homeschool students and working adults all use DSST® to streamline their route to a college degree, finding that it fits into their active lives.
You have to pass those DSST® exams, however, to take advantage of the benefits they offer. If you take a DSST® exam and fail it, there is a waiting period, usually three or six months before you can try again. If you are a military service member, your first exam will be paid for by the military, but if you have to try again, you will have to pay for it yourself.
The SpeedyPrep progress bar will fill in as you master your material and you can watch it as it fills to 90-100%. At that point, you are ready to take your exam.
There are various options for preparing for your DSST® exam. These include reading through old textbooks, ploughing through DSST® exam workbooks, and just “winging-it”.
SpeedyPrep’s test prep materials offer an alternative that is based on mastery learning technique: that repeated demonstration of correctly answering questions leads to facts and concepts being locked in your memory, ready to recall when you take your exam.
When you use SpeedyPrep’s flashcard teaching system, you will be giving yourself repeated experience with the facts, terms and concepts you need to know to pass your DSST® exam. The explanations and videos that accompany the flashcard questions will give you added context and understanding of what you are learning. When you answer your SpeedyPrep flashcards correctly multiple times, the knowledge and information you are gaining will lock into your memory.
The SpeedyPrep progress bar will fill in as you master your material and you can watch it as it fills to 90-100%. At that point, you are ready to take your exam.
SpeedyPrep work is done entirely online and can be used on any mobile device. No additional books or materials are required.
SpeedyPrep offers a money-back guarantee. If you complete our program (fill your progress bar to 90-100%) but fail your DSST® exam, we will refund your money. We offer this guarantee because we know that our program works and we are committed to offering comprehensive curricula that meets the standards established for each DSST® exam.
