DSST scoring

[natshar]

DSST passing score is 400 for all exams (at least, I think they have it that way now).  They used to be on a different scale similar to the CLEP, but that changed a very long time ago (maybe 10 years ago-ish).

They also used to give grade-equivalents for their exams, but that went away a long time ago as well.  But 400 is generally considered a C, with 434 generally considered a B - I don't think they ever said what would be considered an A.

BTW, CLEP also used to have grade equivalents, but it was different for the different exams.  I only know this because I have the info for the 2 I took: Marketing considered a 65 a B, while Management was a 63.

Thanks. I thought it was the other way around. I guess just seeing the different scoring numbers in everyone's signatures made it confusing.
