Just curious about what the advantages/benefits are to taking the DSST vs CLEP vs ECE.

Never taken any DSST but I have taken a few CLEP and alot of ECE.

The ECE I have taken are all 7 nursing exams and Life Span Psych so far, have A&P next Tuesday and Microbiology a few weeks after that. The Excelsior exams I find for 3-6 credits are very reasonably priced but many are quite difficult and require alot of prep.

The CLEP I have taken are Sociology and A&I Lit. They were both very easy and required little prep if any, and cost $77.

Thanks beachnurse, I am also taking A&I lit AND sociology. I'm very comfortable with the A&I lit, but not sure about the sociology Clep.

As for the dsst, I have seen were others have taken dsst exams. So I was curious as to why "that" exam and not Clep or ece.
