ECE Cultural Diversity... The Hour Is Upon Me

[Maniac Craniac]

I have not taken Cultural Diversity but I have taken three other ECE's and earned one A and two B's. Based on that experience here's how I see it:

I knew much more about the subjects for which I received a B. Therefore, I conclude that there is a curve at work here. Cultural Diversity is likely an exam on which more people do well. Therefore, you have to score higher to earn an A. I don't believe that many, if any, of the section scores I received on the exam on which I earned an A were in the 90s--and some were in the 70s!

So, you're doing the right thing in your prep. ECEs are much more like real finals than CLEP or DSST exams. You have to know the DETAILS from the text they tell you to use. Also, it's very helpful to know the sample exams well because although you may not see those exact questions, you will see altered versions of them--or questions based on information presented in the wrong answers to the samples.

According to the exam technical handbook, the test is graded by percentage. 86% score and above is an A, which nobody seems to get. The incredibly vast majority get C's and plenty of people just fail.
