While everyone is different, Peterson’s recommends at least 6 weeks of preparation for test day.
- The Health and Human Development DSST exam is based on a scaled scoring system, calculated from multiple-choice questions and essay scores. Scores range from 200 to 500, considering the test taker’s overall proficiency in human development and health concepts. A score of 400 is considered a passing score, with 434 considered a B-equivalent. As individual institutions may require specific scores to award credit, you should always check with your college or university about their policy on passing scores. Understanding the nuances of scores will help in your academic planning endeavors and advance you toward your educational goals.
- Students can only register and pay for the DSST Health and Human Development exam at an authorized test center. The GetCollegeCredit website is a great resource for information on locating testing centers and institutions that award credit for the DSST.
