UExcel grading system? - Ginger - 11-09-2013
Hi all!
I am taking UExcel Operations management this week. I am wondering if anyway knows the percentage required to pass? I looked through Excelsior's credit by exam page and did not find anything. If this is not available somewhere, to those of you who have taken a UExcel exam,how did the scoring seem to compare to CLEP/DSST? Thanks in advance for your answers!

I have, but thank you! Just wondering how hard/easy it is to pass a UExcel test.

Similar to CLEP/DSST, no one can give a percentage because the tests are graded on a curve; and, each test has a different curve. DSST does have a document that gives you a range of the number of questions need to get right in order to pass for some of their tests, but I haven't seen anything for CLEP and Uexcel.

Thank you to all! Took the test this morning, about 67% correct got me a B. Obviously not as easy of a grading scale as some, but reasonable. I'm sure the curves on other UExcel exams vary somewhat, but I was pleased with this. Only 3 more credits to go!
