INCIRLIK AIR BASE, Turkey -- While service members may know that students don't have to register with DSST to take an exam, it's important for them to be aware of their test center's scheduling policy.

Some test centers have open hours that don't require an appointment, for example. Others may ask students to call or use an online portal to schedule a testing time. Preparing students with this information helps to ensure a smooth and successful DSST testing experience.

The Incirlik National Test Center offers testing on Monday (Speech, part two only) from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m., Tuesday and Wednesday at 8:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. and Thursday at 12 p.m., 3:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.

DSST is offering a limited time cost savings for eligible service members who would like to retake their exam as a self-funder.

Test takers will save $10 when they retake an exam and use the promotion code W15TENOFF, through July 31, 2015.

The code can be used to retake as many exams as needed by the deadline. The $10 off promotion cannot be combined with any other DSST offers and the 90-day DSST exam retake policy applies.

Students can find the full DSST exam list at www.GetCollegeCredit.com.

As DSST's official test preparation partner to the military, Peterson's provides study materials at no cost to Service members and their families. Practice tests, fact sheets, and study guides for a variety of DSST exam titles can all be found at Peterson's DoD MWR LELLRC, www.nelnetsolutions.com/dodlibrary.

Peterson's Portable Practice Test Player allows students to take practice exams at any time, even without Internet access.
