The nationally recognized credit-by-exam DSST program helps students earn college credits for learning acquired outside the traditional classroom-learning from on-the-job training, reading, or independent study. Approximately 50,000 students took a DSST last year-more than 50% of whom were funded by the military. Nearly 2,000 <ST1:COUNTRY-REGION w:st="on"><ST1:PLACE w:st="on">U.S.</ST1:PLACE></ST1:COUNTRY-REGION> colleges and universities recognize the DSST program and award college credit for passing scores. Peterson's <i>Official Guide to Mastering the DSST Exams</i> is endorsed by Prometric, the DSST program provider, which found this study guide to be an excellent reflection of the content of the respective DSST tests.<br><br><br><br>Benefits of the DSST program include:<br><br> <UL type=disc> <LI .5in? list tab-stops: lfo1; level1 l0 mso-list: 0pt; 0in MARGIN:>earning credit for previously learned knowledge <LI .5in? list tab-stops: lfo1; level1 l0 mso-list: 0pt; 0in MARGIN:>advancing your career and/or continue your education <LI .5in? list tab-stops: lfo1; level1 l0 mso-list: 0pt; 0in MARGIN:>using your educational assistance money to enroll in more advanced courses <LI .5in? list tab-stops: lfo1; level1 l0 mso-list: 0pt; 0in MARGIN:>making up missed courses <LI .5in? list tab-stops: lfo1; level1 l0 mso-list: 0pt; 0in MARGIN:>graduating sooner</li></ul> <br><br><strong>Selling Points:</strong><br><br>The book includes 8 DSSTs, each offering a pre-test, subject review, and post-test with detailed answer explanations:<br><br> <OL type=1> <LI .5in? list tab-stops: lfo1; level1 l0 mso-list: 0pt; 0in MARGIN:>Ethics in <ST1:COUNTRY-REGION w:st="on"><ST1:PLACE w:st="on">America</ST1:PLACE></ST1:COUNTRY-REGION> <LI .5in? list tab-stops: lfo1; level1 l0 mso-list: 0pt; 0in MARGIN:>Introduction to Computing <LI .5in? list tab-stops: lfo1; level1 l0 mso-list: 0pt; 0in MARGIN:>Principles of Supervision <LI .5in? list tab-stops: lfo1; level1 l0 mso-list: 0pt; 0in MARGIN:>Substance Abuse <LI .5in? list tab-stops: lfo1; level1 l0 mso-list: 0pt; 0in MARGIN:>Business Mathematics <LI .5in? list tab-stops: lfo1; level1 l0 mso-list: 0pt; 0in MARGIN:>Principles of Public Speaking <LI .5in? list tab-stops: lfo1; level1 l0 mso-list: 0pt; 0in MARGIN:>Fundamentals of College Algebra <LI .5in? list tab-stops: lfo1; level1 l0 mso-list: 0pt; 0in MARGIN:>Technical Writing</li></ol>
