CLEP exam scoring, how?
#1
Are CLEP scored by straight correct/incorrect percentages or are they weighted based on subject difficulty?

For example, the Microeconomics and Sociology exams I just took. I went into both with good prep and understanding of the subject matter. Here is where they differed for me during testing:

Microeconomics: Stressed and nervous throughout test, didn't feel comfortable with at least half my answers, felt like I was getting a 50.
Completion: 90mins / Score: 63

Sociology: Relaxed and comfortable throughout, everything I studied was on the test (except maybe 5 questions), felt like I was getting a 70+.
Completion: 40mins / Score: 57

I know CLEP's are all pass/fail, but still, just wondering.

CLEPs scores are scaled, normalised t-scores.
