I scored a 68 on American Government and thought I had done fantastic. Then I noticed that Excelsior requires a whopping "69" for an 'A' on this course. As a result, I have one 'B' so far (even though a 68 would be a high 'A' on ANY other exam).

I intend to either retake the exam, or replace it with a different exam altogether (and suppress the AG score) so that I won't have a B on my transcript.

Another benefit of earning a degree through testing.
