I can't understand ECE's Scoring

[johnysc430]

I just took Excelsior Abnormal Psychology


Introduction to basic issues I scored 48% out of 25 questions = 12

Disorders was 60 questions I scored 69% correct for 41.4

Treatment, prevention 52% out of 15 7.8

I got 61.2 correct, I thought this was an A or at least a B

on my print out this says C

can you guys explain this please

They do not score cummulatively as you have detailed in your post. They give you a breakdown of what the test covers, for exam 10% of the exam is on how to gather evidence, 10% on basic terminology, etc. You may do well in some areas but not others and that can cost you the A or B grade. Based on the percentages you gave, it surprises me that you received a C. You may have just barely passed, according to the information I have read about ECE exams. They say you should score over 75% on each category before taking the official test. That is if a practice exam is available.
