This Exam Has Been Discontinued

DSST has discontinued the Western Europe since 1945 exam, so it can no longer be scheduled or taken for college credit. We've kept this page up because students still search for it, but there is no longer an active exam to register for.

If you were planning to earn credit with this exam, take a look at the similar CLEP and DSST exams below. They cover overlapping ground, and InstantCert's study material for those subjects is available if you decide to switch — the Cold War, the European Union, and post-1945 history covered here carry over to several of them, so your prep won't be wasted.
