CLEP Scoring

[ilovefargo]

I have read some posts on how CLEP actually calculates your score. One basic question if you have researched a whole lot about CLEP scoring system. Let's say you are taking a CLEP exam with the lowest passage rate, does it mean that your cut off to pass the CLEP really low?

While no one knows for sure, I would say probably. The scoring system is scaled, so it stands to reason that a lower scaled score is needed on the harder exams than on the easier ones since they are scaled to represent the "C" student's ability.

I _think_ i understand the question?

My answer is yes...

Here is what I go by... The REA guides.. They have a little thing in the front of each book, that breaks down your % to the actualy CLEP score.. For example, for the principles of management CLEP, you only need 49% to pass... Some of the psyc ones, you need a greater %...

Does that help? : /
