Question about CLEP scoring

[BGSU_Alum_86]

I do not see how someone can say with 100% accuracy that answering 48 questions out of 80 would guarantee you at least a '50' on a CLEP exam. CLEP always has extra questions on each exam that are not scored. These could be retired questions (meaning you might see them on various practice tests), they could be questions that have not completed the process to be official questions, etc. Whatever the case, you will not know which questions are the ones that are not scored. These unknown questions cause a problem when someone asks what percentage of the questions need to be correct to achieve at least a 50. Well, you need a certain percentage answered correctly of those that are scored.

Confused? This is why I just encourage my testers to just do their best and not worry about a specific number.
