Just wait the required 6 months and try again...then send them the passing test.

Urban - there's been a lot of talk on this on the boards. I can tell you for sure that Excelsior does NOT (thankfully) transcript any exam that you fail. I speak from experience - I missed Money and Banking by 2 points.

I'm not sure what the other schools do, but like I said, this continues to be a hot topic 'round here.

Now that I think about it, I'm not sure if all scores are sent every time you take an exam. I'm guessing not for CLEP, but if it were SAT/PCAT/GRE/MAT/ACT or other entrance exam, then yes, every score would be reported. This is simply becuase of the type of the exam and how the schools use the information on it.
