Intro to Bussiness DSST Question.

Umm... no. No one knows what % correct you need to pass because the test makers don't release that info. What you do know is that the passing score, in this case a 400, is what the average college "C" student would have gotten on the CLEP/DSST if he took the class and then the same exam you did. You have to do as well as him/her or better in order to pass them exam.

On exams that are "easier" you may need 70% or more right to pass, but on an exam that is "harder" and has a much higher fail rate, this lowers the curve in your favor so you may only need 30% or so right. The percentages I gave are just for demonstration sake because as I said no one really knows.

A lot of people take Money and Banking or one of the harder exams and think "Man I failed that" when they hit report scores and then are shocked when they get a 68 or something.

Also make sure your school doesn't count CLEP management and DSST supervision as the same credits... I know some schools do that.

I understand. I'll try my best and see what happens.
Thanks for telling me that my school might consider both tests as the same credits. I'll give Excelsior a ring and see.

gia-sal75,
Yeah I did find that and am not sure what to precisely think with that information along with what MA2 said.
