Florida Statute does not require the ACC to establish minimum course and credit equivalents for the DANTES Subject Standardized Tests (DSSTs). However, pursuant to Florida State Board Rule 6A-10.024, transfer of credit must be accepted based on the following recommendations. Institutions must use the course number listed, unless it would be advantageous for the student to award a specific course number with equal credit that satisfies program prerequisites. The DSST exams, unlike Advanced Placement, are not built around curriculum, but rather are designed to test students' knowledge on a variety of college-level subjects, regardless of where they may have learned the material. Exams are developed by committees of college faculty. Norming forms of DSSTs are administered to college-level students who are completing courses for credit in various subjects. More information about DSSTs, including descriptions of test content and sample examination questions, is available at www.getcollegecredit.com/.
