Failed Exam

[mlwilliamsiv]

Thanks again guys for the encouragement...I know I always can count on you guys for a good kick in the pants!!! I was almost depressed when I found out I failed that exam. Marshall and failing English sounds like it doesn't even belong in the same sentence. And to add insult to injury, I miss the cut off score by one stinking point. I was already upset at the fact that I scored that low in the first place; but to totally fail that exam was totally unacceptable in my book. However, what's done is done and I will move forward amicably. I have DSST Supervision scheduled for 8/13 so I'm hoping to pass this test and put some pep back in my step. Thank you all again for everything...Thank You.

Bat you are too funnyhilarious !!!!....."Vulcan Mind Trick!!!!!!"

I did ask for my essay to be graded again by the College Board. Within a week I got a call stating that my 49 still stands. Whether they "actually" regraded my essay is another matter entirely. I wish I could have a copy of my essay and I would ask an English Professor here in my neighborhood to grade it just to see. But I do trust the College Board and believe that they did have it regraded...at least I'm willing to believe that they did.

I would highly recommend to others taking this exam to not take this exam for granted and to study for it the same way you would for any other exam (regardless of proficiency in the subject matter); whether CLEP, DSST, or TECEP. Based on what I read from others experience, I didn't feel the exam warranted my usual study time requirements. Just to show you how bizarre this whole debacle is...I passed A&I Lit with a nice score of 64, and with only an hour of reviewing literary terms. I fail English Composition by one point with a relatively decent background in the subject!!!!!!(not really funny but I'll keep a sense of humor). That is just utterly ridiculous!

Hope this info helps some.

Thanks again you guys and keep up the good work.

Peace be with you all.

From a loyal degree seeker,

Marshall
