One Clear Path to Depth
Focused, concentration-level assessments in the subjects you're most passionate about.
Concentration Subjects are advanced, concentration-level assessments that reveal focused knowledge and aptitude in areas typically encountered after introductory university study. They are the single, unified way DSA measures subject-specific depth—there is no separate Core or Adjacent track.
Choose the specialized areas that best reflect your academic interests and university goals.
One DSA registration provides 6 exam attempts valid for 3 years, usable on any Concentration Subjects.
Use attempts on the same subject to improve, or try new subjects—your registration covers either.
Each subject allows up to 3 attempts; since each is offered once per year, retakes are naturally about a year apart.
Like grades in different university courses, a Concentration Subject score is interpreted in the context of the subject taken.
Explore advanced concentration subjects across major academic fields.
