Yup my school isn't hard to find and is VERY interweaved with the local CC's in the "Tidewater" Virginia area. The only variation with the standards set forth by ACE were in Business and Foreign Language (and obviously history lol). Even though they deviate from the ACE recommended minimum the deviation is a max of 3 points IIRC. 14 points above the norm in history is nuts IMO.
The easiest place to check what schools accept what is here: B10: Part C: Advanced Placement Tests and Scores Accepted by Virginia Institutions
Not all schools report to SCHEV but many do and it gives a very good statistical estimate. For instance Virginia Tech isn't listed IRT CLEP, but at Tech's site you can see that they align with the ACE norms. https://www.registrar.vt.edu/documents/clep_eq_1415.pdf
IMO if it is good for Tech it should be good for my school.
I will still drive this topic as it has become important to me. I am still taking History of the US I at my local CC so that I can roll it in at my B&M in time for my commissioning (military) in/around December time frame. I'd like to be done now but it doesn't look like that will happen. It would be nice if my B&M took the letter grade from my CC as I am only 0.01 points away from Summa Cum Laude and I only need 1 graded point at 4.0 to get me over the hump. I'll live with Magna Cum Laude but it was one of my goals while attending. I did get the highest GPA of my department so I was treated to a fancy dinner and a medal
That experience gave me quite a few hook-ups within the faculty and my time as a TA so I might see if I can get some other faculty assistance to drive this one home.
I did look at Liberty, GMU, Virginia Union and all of those institutions require a 50 for the History tests. IMO those are very reputable schools so I don't understand why mine has "higher standards" as stated from the History chair. He was just blowing smoke. I still haven't heard back from him and I will get hot tomorrow. I may take a trip to the campus so that I can be in his face to state my case or go to the dean if he doesn't give me a sufficient answer. (I also checked Regent (50 or higher on all accepted tests), Virginia Wesleyan (same as Regent), and Norfolk State (same a regent))
