There are some things to remember.[/COLOR][/SIZE]
First- the pass rate of IC Forum members (you!) is very HIGH (see my siggy). Don't throw out your exam list just yet. **Can one of you statistical people here do a calculation that makes an adjustment so we can factor the military pass rate scale the scores to reflect our pass rate- I don't remember the term of what that's called- adjusting maybe?**
Second- the military folks can take exams for free- which could influence their desire to take an exam cold or with a small amount of preparation (go ahead and try- your not out anything).
Lastly- DSST will work on their test to perfect the difficulty level. That might mean revising it to be overall harder or easier, but the idea is always that the passing score would reflect the average passing C grade student. (maybe student's have improved over the years as well- which would bump up the scale)
