Letter grades for CLEP tests
#1
I think I read here Excelsior gives letter grades for CLEP score. Can anyone confirm. Does anyone know other schools that give letter grades for CLEP?

Not any longer, however many of the DSST exams still get letter grades.

Excelsior grants credit as follows:
  • CLEP: credit is only awarded as "pass"
    Dantes (DSST): credit for 29 of the exams are awarded as letter grades; credit for the other 9 exams (recently revised to use a 3-digit scoring system) is awarded as "pass"
    Excelsior College Examinations (ECE): credit awarded as letter grades
FYI, if you don't hit the minimum pass score for a CLEP or DSST exam, no credit is awarded and the exam won't appear on your Excelsior transcript. If you mess up on an ECE, it goes on your record!

They no longer give letter grades for CLEP. One thing to remember is that this can change. When I started taking exams for my first degree none (CLEP, DSST, or RCE) gave you a grade. A few months later when I enrolled (and applied for graduation) that had changed.
