$25 administration fee receipt
The DSST test (formerly the DANTES Program) is a credit-by-exam testing program. DSST tests are designed to measure and evaluate an individual’s knowledge of a particular subject. The program has made over 30 test titles available to candidates to receive course credit by simply obtaining a passing score for the exam.
- Military personnel receive one exam per test title for free. If the test is not passed and the candidate wishes to retest, the test and administration fee will apply. Bring paid receipt from ASU-Beebe Business Office to test site on the day of the exam.
- Non-military personnel pay the following amounts on the day of the exam:
- $100 per test (with a credit card only – VISA, Mastercard, or American Express)
- The test fee is paid at the candidate’s testing station before beginning the test.
- $25 non-refundable administration fee (debit card, credit card, check or money order payable to ASU-Beebe)
- Individuals cannot pay for the exam before the day of the test.
This exam is only offered on the Little Rock Air Force Base (LRAFB) campus.
Advanced registration is required. Registration for this exam is paper-based and specific to the LRAFB campus. Students must register for the test at the LRAFB campus no later than 5 p.m. the day prior to testing.
Candidates are able to view their scores immediately after the completion of the test. The candidate will then be able to print their scores. Additionally, the candidate can view their scores after completion by logging onto Prometric TC Net. The public speaking exam is the only DSST exam that cannot be viewed by logging into the candidate's DSST account.
These reports are mailed to the candidate’s designated institution within seven to ten business days. Candidates may not receive an official score report if the candidate has previously taken the test and has not paid the testing and administration fee. DSST currently does not prevent DANTES-funded candidates from completing a test without payment.
Candidates must wait 30 days from the last testing date before retesting on the same exam title. Candidates who test on the same exam title within 30 days will receive an “Invalid” Score Report.
To be considered for the Registered Nursing program, all applicants must take the HESI LPN to ADN or the HESI EMS to ADN entrance exam and the ACCUPLACER Reading exam. Both the HESI and the ACCUPLACER Reading exams must be taken at the same time on one of the scheduled dates and times at the Beebe campus or the Searcy campus during the semester prior to the applicant’s start date. Plan ahead and prepare well for the exam. The testing schedule is limited; don’t wait and risk your seat in the ADN program! Remember that if you do not achieve the minimum score, you will need to remediate, study more, and retest. Remember that the testing must be done on the scheduled days and times.

ACCUPLACER Reading
The ACCUPLACER Reading test assesses your ability to derive meaning from a range of texts and to determine the meaning of words and phrases in short and extended contexts. Passages on the test cover a range of content areas, writing modes, and complexities. Both single and paired passages are included. The ACCUPLACER Reading subtest is a computer-adaptive, untimed test designed to help accurately place students into appropriate class levels by assessing their skills and knowledge. Computer adaptive testing means that the test will use a complex algorithm to adjust the complexity level of the questions over time based on your previous responses. The result is an accurate representation of your capabilities with no outside influence. As such, the test is not scored as either passing or failing; instead, the test reflects your aptitude upon completion. Applicants must earn a minimum Reading score of 253.
