For those of you with experience, I have two questions regarding letter and pass/fail CLEP grades:

I am planning on enrolling in our local rural community college in the summer. I don't believe they automatically give a "letter" grade for CLEP. However, I have heard of colleges doing so upon request.

1. Has anyone had success requesting a letter grade against the normal practices of their college? AND

2. If you receive a pass/fail grade, does this count toward or against your GPA? Is the CLEP treated as a "C", or is your GPA only calculated only from your regular courses?
