Many candidates get stuck on wanting to know how the scaled score number corresponds to a percentage. There is no hard-and-fast rule on this. The system is set up to first score the questions that are set to be scored (there are always extra questions that are NOT scored, just to create extra forms of the exams). Each scaled score number corresponds to a set number of correct responses (of the ones that are scored). CLEP has also communicated that a suggested passing score of '50' equates to a C-student's work.
As long as you are taking the IBT version of the exams, you will find out your results at the end of the exam (unless you cancel your score or are taking the College Composition exam).
CLEP Services prints official scores overnight, every night. These are the official scores that candidates have designated to be sent to a specific college/university. They get processed into first-class mail and then depart from CLEP Services (Trenton, NJ) to your school. They ask that you allow 2-3 weeks for your school to receive this official score because they have no control over the postal system. I typically hear that the local universities in our area (SoCal) receive these score reports in about 7-10 days after testing. I always suggest to new testing candidates that they contact their registrar's office and ask if they have an approximate number of days from the receipt of a transcript to posting the credits on the student's account. This varies by school!
