Does the test score matter?
#1
Hi everyone,

I am new, so I hope I am not re-asking too much.

So, I understand there are 90 questions in about 90 minutes for Introduction to Psychology.

I got a used text book cheap from Ebay and studying my brains out!

My understanding is over 50 is a pass.

So, should I be really trying to get a perfect score or is that not ever viewed on the transcript? A pass is a pass, not really in the same understanding as a good grade point average? :confused:

Thank you! Confusedeeya:

Your transcript will only show pass/fail, and your score will not be reflected in your GPA. I like to use practice tests as an indicator of how much study is enough. If you can score well on the practice tests (which are usually a bit harder than the real thing), you shouldn't have any problem passing. Good luck!

How it is listed on the transcript must vary by school. Excelsior does include the score on the transcript, even though CLEPs are pass/fail and do not affect GPA.

Which school are you attending?
AS in 2010 and BS in 2013 at Excelsior College - Transcripts and Costs
MS Biostatistics in 2019 at Texas A&M University - Graduate School

Sharing Credit-by-Exam*
Resources Used - 20+ Exams Passed & General GRE
Practice Tests - Available for CLEP and DSST

Is there a way I can find out if GSU will have the scores on my transcripts?
