I took the Intro to Psych Clep yesterday and was thrilled when I saw my score of 65. The proctor congratulated me and I literally danced out of the test center!! I was given a printout before I left but didn't really look at it til I got home. My score was 65 and the scaled score is 50. I have read the explanation that was attached to my score sheet and from what I can comprehend (I have also read other posts regarding this) I juussst... passed this exam. Is that correct? When I took the Peterson's practice exams I was scoring between 62-73 so I thought I was doing well enough to take this one. Also, when I look at what others on this site post as their scores are those the raw scores or the scaled scores? I know a pass is a pass but what does my college really look at- the 65 or the 50?
Thanks

I think you may be reading the results wrong. From what I understand, your raw score is never reported to you. You scored a 65 (very good score) with a 50 being the ACE recommendation for passing. Good job on your pass!

There is no letter grade so all your school will be concerned with is that you passed and that is how it should appear on your transcript.

[COLOR="Navy"]Scores are percentiles positions not percentages ranging from the lowest (20) to the highest (80) with (50) being the bare bones minimum passing score.
Therefore a 65 is a great (above average) score - great job![/COLOR]
