Right now, Excelsior gives letter grades for all Dantes exams scored on the 2-digit system. The score-grade equivalents vary depending on the test, but generally speaking, a score in the mid-50s gets you an A.
When Prometric refreshes a Dantes exam, the scoring system changes from 2-digit to 3-digit. I don't know why Excelsior doesn't re-evaluate the exam to set new cut scores, unless they'd prefer we paid them to take letter-graded ECEs instead. (ya think?)
