You can now take CLEP at home!

Hmmm just came back from a super quick CLEP overview and I saw some of their exams can be passed with a score of 50?!?! What? So I can literally get an F and on these exams and still get credit for them? Every other third credit course provider I've seen elsewhere seems to require a minimum of 70% overall grade including all coursework. I wonder if WGU will accept CLEP credits even if I barely pass with a 50 on these exams.

It's not a percentage score. It's a scaled score.  CLEP min score is 20, and max score is 80. 

No you are not getting an F on the clep and still get credit when you score a 50.  Even saying 70% of 80 is not quite the right way to compare it. Different scale. getting a 50 on CLEPs usually is similar to having a grade of C in a course.

Thank you. That makes a lot of sense.
