Since the exams are all scored independently of each other (different score needed to pass each one), the use of that calculator doesn't make sense. Also, the lowest score of 200 on the DSST exams comes up with a negative score equivalent using that calculator. Yes 500 is the same as 80, but every other score is different on each exam due to the way they calculate the scores. Don't worry about comparing the old and new scoring, just worry about getting to that passing score. That PDF guide explains all that you need to know about scoring.
My completed "non-traditional" credits include 27 credits from CLEP, 30 credits from DSST, 6 credits from ALEKS, 19 credits from FEMA courses including PDS, 3 credits from NFA courses, 10 credits from ACE Workplace Training, 3 credits from a TESC TECEP exam, and 3 credits from a TESC PLA course.
