DSST scoring

[Merlin]

DSST passing score is 400 for all exams (at least, I think they have it that way now).  They used to be on a different scale similar to the CLEP, but that changed a very long time ago (maybe 10 years ago-ish).

They also used to give grade-equivalents for their exams, but that went away a long time ago as well.  But 400 is generally considered a C, with 434 generally considered a B - I don't think they ever said what would be considered an A.

BTW, CLEP also used to have grade equivalents, but it was different for the different exams.  I only know this because I have the info for the 2 I took: Marketing considered a 65 a B, while Management was a 63.

I took my CLEP and DSST exams about 8 years back and they still issued grades back then. As far as scoring I think they all vary based on the exam, but on my MIS DSST I ended up with a 467 and that was considered an A at the time, so maybe it is just ~33 points across the board? (400-433 = C, 434-466 = B, 467-500 = A).
