Now, the catalog states that the reason that they don't assign a letter grade to the CLEP anymore is because they don't have suffifiant data on the new computer based tests. My education office is still giving the paper based tests with the scantron sheets. I wonder if they will give these a letter grade or if they stopped giving letter grades for CLEPs alltogether. The two in question are English Comp w/o essay (which I need to retake anyway to get the essay part) and Humanities. Both of these exams I got a 60.
The good news is that on the two Dantes that I already have, Ethics in America and Environment and Humanity, I got an A.
The four that I am waiting for results are US Hist I & II and College Math (all paper based cleps) and Principles of Public Speaking (the only Dantes but I think I did really good).
