alissaroot Wrote:No, the DSSTs are transfer credit, and EC doesn't take any grades lower than "C" in transfer, so it won't go on your EC record. If it does, you should be able to have it removed. You shouldn't have to worry about "F"s on anything except Excelsior's own courses and exams. (ECEs and Uexcels)


Yes. Just make sure you wait the 180 days to retake it, or your score won't count.



I bet you both passed. Smile

Remind me to never take a bet against you :p, you're right I just the the paper in the mail box today... I passed with a 60 (48 to pass) I can't believe I actually got such a good score on it specially when they started asking so many questions about specific people of the 20th century that had to do with astronomy. So yay 3 more credits to the pool... I was actually so demotivated because I thought I failed I couldn't study for any of the other exams :p hehe. I guess I can get back to work now Smile

Thanks everyone!

Before I forget, Jaryu, have you considered taking US History I and II right before American Government?

I found that order made it easier to study for American Government since I already knew about the historical events that were referred to. I would not say that it helped me on the test, but others have said that it did.
