    Default DSST Dantes Test Center in NYC

    Hello,

    I need to take 4 tests to get UL credits for Business major in Excelsior. I am planning to take the Dantes tests, but I don't find any center close to NYC, any recommendation?

    Thanks.

    Default They don't offer it

    Daniel,

    I had already checked there, but for some reason a lady told me they do not offer DSST tests anymore, even though is listed.

    Any other? Or any option online?

    Thanks.

    Jorai

    You cannot take it online from home. When people use the term Online DSST Test, that means its online at the test center. (as opposed to a pen & paper test that first has to be mailed to the scoring center)

    oops... The one I gave you says they only give the test to enrolled students.

    Check out that link, there are other test centers in NYC (some in Brooklyn). Hope you find one that your comfortable with.

    What about the ECE's? If you still need Ethics and Organizational Behavior, you can take those as upper level EC exams and take care of those other requirements as well. Otherwise, there's always HRM and, I believe, Labor Relations.

    Unhappy I can't believe it

    These ones are only for their students (FORDHAM UNIVERSITY) GAMLA COLLEGE has an answering machine all time. The info is not updated in dsst's website.

    Has anyone actually taken a DANTES exam in NYC?

    Michael, I guess I will have to go with ECE tests (more expensive though).

    I don't find any Center that administers DSST exams in NYC!

    Where?
    I'm not from NYC but i'm only 45 min. away and would love to take a Computer-Based DSST, rather than waiting for my score for 3 weeks!!

    Hi Daniel,

    After trying hard, I found this one:

    MEDGAR EVERS COLLEGE
    1650 BEDFORD AVE, B2037
    BROOKLYN, NY *11225
    718-270-4835

    I live like an hour from there, but going to NYC is the best option as well. They told me they have an average of 2 tests per month, so make sure you call on time to register for June (next one is June 4th) and theres's also one next week but that was too soon for me!

    Hope that helps.

    J.
