Default Scoring on CLEP

I was wondering, most exams say you need to get a 50 to pass, but the score ranges from 20-80, which is an even portportion again to 50. So does this mean you would only have to get half the questions right in order to pass a CLEP?

My college says that if you get an answer wrong, it counts 1/4 point against you. So you are better off not answering the ones you have no clue about. But on the contray, on the CLEP site it says questions are only marked wrong, so it is better to atleast guess on some. Could my college infer its own grading system into the CLEP?

My school also only lets you take a CLEP once, if you fail it, you cannot retake it to get credit. Is this a normal policy?

Thanks for your help!!
