Excelsior's website does leave a bit to be desired. The pdf document you're looking for is called "A Student Guide to Credit by Examination at Excelsior College". Use the search function on the site and put in CLEP. One of the links from the page should be to this pdf (though you'll need a MyEC account).
The latest pdf I read breaks down like this:
Coure: A, B, C
American Literature: 64, 55, 50
English Literature: 67, 55, 60
American Government: 69, 58, 50
Macroeconomics: 61, 54, 50
Microeconomics: 60, 54, 50
College Algebra: 60, 54, 50
Management: 60, 56, 50
The language exams have a specific cut off for 12 credits vs 6 credits but not for letter grades. All other exams are 50 to pass.
Many exams just recently changed to PASS/FAIL instead of a grade. I guess those exams recently changed or something so they don't yet have enough info on them to create a grading scale. Nearly every DANTES has grades assigned to it so let me know if you need a specific one if you can't find the pdf, or I can e-mail you the pdf.
