I have never taken a paper-based CLEP or DSST. After my IBT DSST on Wednesday, I am re-doing my degree plan to include more DSSTs.
Perhaps I was just lucky, but the electronic DSST was significantly faster and the questions seemed more straight-forward in what they were asking for than either of the CLEPs I took. I was actually done so quickly that I sat there and kind of blinked at the screen for a bit.
I think the time limit was 2 hours and, like the computer-based CLEPs, there was a little timer in the upper left of the screen ticking away the seconds.
There's also a mark-for-review function and a summary at the end where you can review any of your answers before ending the test.
