CLEP literature tests - 6 credit or 3 credit

[dfrecore]

For all 3 Lit tests, they have the same exact ACE recommendations:
Taken 3/1/96-6/30/01, 6cr for score of 46+
Taken 7/1/01-2/28/15, 6cr for score of 50+
Taken 3/1/15-present, 3cr for score of 50+

So, it depends on when you took the exam as to what a school will give you. And then, it depends on the school's policy; some require a higher score than ACE recommends, some gave 3cr when ACE recommended 6cr, some give 6cr when ACE recommends 3cr. It really just depends on the school.

Also, many schools have outdated CLEP/DSST score charts or webpages, so that's not always really helpful.
