Dantes Subject Standardized Test (DSST)

Dantes Subject Standardized Test (DSST) exams allow students to receive college credit for what a student already knows. DSST has an extensive list of subject-level exams that cover both upper and lower-level baccalaureate credit courses. DSST exams are recommended for credit by the American Council of Education (ACE). 

By successfully passing a DSST Exam, students can save on college tuition by fulfilling degree course requirements. Please read Gateway’s guidelines on accepting DSST scores below:

  1. To receive proficiency college credit, a student must be accepted into an associate degree, technical diploma, certificate or apprenticeship program offered by Gateway.
