How this list was compiled: Our own questions, written to the content outline of the DSST Business Mathematics fact sheet (Prometric, revised 11/2021, https://getcollegecredit.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/DSST_BusinessMathematics.pdf, read 2026-10-08): number sense 5%, algebraic concepts 16%, statistics 14%, business applications 49%, financial mathematics 16%. The bank holds 5, 16, 14, 49 and 16 questions, the same shares of the real exam's 100. Every answer is arithmetic or algebra on what the question itself prints, recomputed on 2026-10-08; each table factor a question needs is printed in it. The 51 questions that rest on a business convention (a depreciation method, credit terms, FIFO and LIFO, a ratio, a tax rate) name the public page it was read in: Wikipedia, the IRS, Investor.gov, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Licence: Questions, choices and explanations are original work of this site.
How it works
This free DSST Business Mathematics practice test has 100 questions of our own, as many as the real exam, and shows the working under every answer. It is unofficial practice, not affiliated with Prometric, the owner of the DSST program.
Read the full guide
Five areas and their weights
The fact sheet (revised 11/2021, read October 8, 2026) weights them: business applications 49%; algebraic concepts 16%; financial mathematics 16%; statistics 14%; number sense 5%. The bank holds 49, 16, 16, 14 and 5 questions.
100 questions, 2 hours
The real exam allows 2 hours for 100 questions. Exam mode uses the same count and time.
The four tables
The real exam shows four tables as its first items: the future value and the present value of one dollar, and the future value and the present value of an annuity of one dollar. Here a question prints the one factor it needs.
The fact sheet advises marking the table items for review, so you can go back to the tables during the exam.
Questions and answers
Can you use a calculator on the DSST Business Mathematics exam?
Yes. The fact sheet says a non-programmable calculator may be used in this exam.
What is on the DSST Business Mathematics exam?
Mostly business applications, 49% of the exam: index numbers, interest, depreciation, discounts and credit terms, markup, taxes, payroll, break-even analysis, financial ratios, currency conversion and inventory valuation. Algebra, statistics, financial mathematics and number sense make up the rest.
What score do you need on the DSST Business Mathematics exam?
ACE recommends 3 semester hours of lower-level baccalaureate credit at a minimum score of 400, which is a scaled score and not a percent. Your college decides whether it accepts the credit.
Are these real DSST Business Mathematics questions?
No. Each was written for this site from the public content outline, with its own numbers. None comes from the real exam or from the sample questions of the fact sheet.
