Minimum CLEP Scores for TESU credit?

[cookderosa]

Well the one i took today had 100 questions on it. Seems like 100 would be the top score?

I mean not arguing or anything but why make it so complicated. You've got 100 questions, we all know what a C is, seems pretty straightforward.

Anyway thanks for the info, I didn't know 80 was the top score. Once you know that I guess it all makes more sense.

CLEP scoring is a bit more confusing than it needs to be.
When you hear "C" you think 70ish %, but unlike most tests, you NEVER find out what your test % score is! They have a scaled algorithm for every exam they offer (kept confidential) that determines what you CLEP score actually is.

This is hypothetical, but as an example,
Exam A has 100 questions, you need 70 correct to get a 50 (passing)
Exam B has 100 questions, you need 60 correct to get a 50 (passing)
Exam C has 100 questions, you need 40 correct to get a 50 (passing)

In every case, their process determined that someone getting a scaled score of 50 was equal to that of a "C" student. As you can see, the number needed will vary, so for some exams, you have to do a lot better than others. It's *kinda* like being graded on a curve, but that's my working, not theirs.
