University Requires High CLEP Scores for One Subject Only?

[rebel100]

Not at all uncommon. and there are also schools that will also add components to exams such as written papers. Bottom line is that the school gets to decide what they will accept, what the cut off score is, and how many credits to offer.

The only hope you may have would be if your school participates in a consortium or statewide system that allows a lower score on the given exam. For example Florida has a statewide numbering system, but the system is a bit inconsistent. Due to the inconsistency I was able to get a CC registrar to accept DSST Algebra for "College Algebra", even though they argued it was only worth Intermediate. But in this case the school had the exam listed improperly in their own catalog.

Get to studying and go score a 64 or better....or as an option, find an independent studies course that's accepted, cheap and easy and transfer it in. CSU-pueblo, LSU, and University of Idaho would be good places to start looking.
