When you guys say that you passed with a score of 60 or whatever, what does that mean exactly? Like does that mean 60 percent? 60 questions right? How are these exams graded.
Also, I would like to take 4 exams by this summer.
Financial Accounting
principals of management
Microeconomic
macro econmic
how doable is this in the timeframe I have allowed my self? How difficult would it be without the supervision and the flexibuility of a teacher? Any advice appreciated. I really need to take those four to graduate this year and I cant afford summer school, but I will find a way if I have to, what do u guys suggest?

Study hard and study long if you really want to nail these exams without a doubt in your head. These exams are very doable but you would have to pace yourself. I would join IC and use the flashcards and the specific exam feedback section of this website to get the major concepts down. You could ultimately finish these exams in about a month or less. It really depends on you. If you think you know enough to pass the exam, then sit down and take it. There will be some questions that goes deep within the subject area but remember, it is only 1 question and it is worth the same amount as the easiest question. The exams are based on a scale of 20 points to 80 points. 50 is usually passing (different for DSSTs). That means that you got a little more than half right. If your school doesn't grade them on the point scale and just considers it as a pass/fail exam, then it would boost your GPA. I never strived for an 80 or even 70 but only a pass because thats what it is, a pass. Good Luck!
