Mamasaphire,
Thank you for your reply. I do understand what your saying.
I could be totally wrong in my way of viewing this but that is how I see it.
If these tests end up being similar to cleps/dantes then most people will likely study a few weeks to a month or so (which is what I thought the original beta testing period would be). In my opinion that would have given a true sample of what most people taking this test in the future would be studying for.
I agree in the future studying more or less will not skew the results because at that point the questions are set and everyone has as long or short of a time to prepare to take the exam. Since it will cost them a fee most will not sit for the exam until they feel they can pass it. But in this beta testing stage that was not the case some had a shorter & some had longer time frame that was not based on how well a person felt they were prepared to sit for the exam. Rather it was based on a deadline that kept getting extended.

I see what you are saying! I wonder why they keep extending it? Not enough testers yet?

Brian-
The last email I received stated grades would be available at the end of March.
As for me, at this point I won't need these credits to finish my degree but I'd still like to add Political Science to my transcript.

I took the Political Science, don't have a clue as to how I did (some questions I knew right off the bat and some I was like uhhhhhhh) but I hope we find out soon, that would be awesome to get the 3 credits free, but I figure even if I didn't pass, it was a great practice run, and I will be ready as ever once I take it again. Yah I'm anxious to find out
BA in Social Sciences from TESC complete!! Looking into online grad schools :coolgleam:
