About the DSST* Exam
The Money and Banking DSST exam covers the material that would typically be taught in an upper-level undergraduate course on the United States financial system. InstantCert’s course for this subject will help you to gain a solid understanding of the role of money in our economy and how it is manipulated and influenced by the activity of banks and other financial institutions and the U.S. government. Note that this is considered to be a difficult upper-level exam; having taken Principles of Macroeconomics would be very helpful in grasping the finer details of this subject.
