Hello,
Is there a website or a link some one can lead me to where I can find a score vs grade equivalence for the new Dantes test. I gave the Intro to World Religions today (passed) but just wondering if Excelsior will report it as a letter grade or not?
Thx!

Excelsior told me that the new BETA tests will be reported as pass/fail in the same way that the CLEP exams are.
That being said, Prometric's 2008 technical data sheet lists what they consider to be the Calculated B-Grade Equivalent for their new exams.

Congrats on passing the exam!
Excelsior reports the 10 newly revised exams including World Religion as pass/fail. The remaining exams still receive a letter grade.

That would be a pass. All CLEPs are pass/fail only with Excelsior.

I don't know of one, however, I too recently passed the Intro to Religion. It was interesting "you need a 400 to pass" I got a 425, OK so how many questions did I get right? I'm not OCD or anything, but it would be nice to know. I had it worked out in my head, but I have been studying for two new tests tomorrow so I'll have to get back to you... congrats again.
