Which degree???

[clep3705]

Hello,

I notice that you have taken a few CLEP exams , by any chance do you know how they computed your score? I mean are there a certain amount of questions you have to get right in order to receive a passing score? If so, how many would I have to get correct out of the 100 questions given on the Intro to Sociology exam ?

Some people will tell you that you need to get 50% of the questions correct to pass, but that simply isn't true. The last time the data was published (which appears to have been a mistake because it was taken down quickly), a passing score of 50 required getting 49-52 of 90 questions correct. Half correct would be 45 questions. You have to do better than half on some tests, less than half on others.
