I was hoping you guys might be able to give me a grade breakdown for the DANTES/DSST exams
example if i got a 60 on the Rise and Fall of The Soviet Union what grade would that be.
Also if of which DSST/DANTES exams are just does Excelsior college consider pass/fail and which have a grade conversion.
Thank you all for any help you can give me.
The best place to find this info is in a document you can get on the EC website. You'll need to register on the site, and though they did contact me after I registered, they haven't been super pesky. Registration for the website is free.
Once you do that, you'll click on a publications link. One of the publications is something like a student's guide to credit by examination. That lays out the EC policies very well.
It's an important document to refer to because EC gives lower level credit for some tests that according to the DSST site are upper level. It also tells you what score is a passing score, what score you need for a B, A, etc.
