Charter Oak just sent me this excel sheet showing how the DSST exams are graded (those that count towards GPA) There are no "pluses" or "minuses" just straight A-B-C
Figured I'd share it!

Does anyone know if you can "selectively transfer" credits off your DSST transcript? I just realized I got a C on my DSST Geology exam by their grading policy. I can't have that on my transcript, I'd rather eat the exam fee and not have it count! Couldn't get a straight answer out of whoever answered the phone at COSC admissions...

Thanks for the info. I'm surprised substance abuse and criminal justice are not included on the list. Especially since the lower level psych and law enforcement exams are graded.

As an update to this thread I spoke to an academic advisor today and ever since DANTES exams started getting scored on the 400-500 point scale Charter Oak now notes the grade as either Pass or Fail on the transcript.

The remaining two digit DSST should still result in a letter grade. The 3 digit exams will only be pass/fail.https://www.charteroak.edu/current/acade...r-list.pdf
MBA, Western Governors University February 2014
BS Charter Oak State College November 2011

I'm always happy to complete the free application waiver for those applying to WGU (I get a free gift from WGU for this).  Just PM me your first/last name and a valid email so I can complete their form.

Except there are no 2-digit exam scores any longer. The last remaining ones were either permanently retired or are the 3 exam titles temporarily retired which undergoing a revamp (they will be released with the 3-digit scoring at that point).
