Default DANTES scores do count

Abby,

Actually, the DANTES exams do get counted toward your GPA, even though they only list your score (and not a letter grade) on the official score report. Whether your score equates to an "A", "B" or "C" depends on the requirements of your particular college. For example, I scored a 69 on DANTES Organizational Behavior, which is an "A" at Excelsior. However, at another college, that could equal a "B". So we definitely want to get as high a score as we can on the DANTES exams.

Hope that helps!
