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.

They probably do look at all scores for SAT/PCAT/ GRE/MAT/ACT -- but CLEP and Dantes? I'm sure they don't. I just checked online for a transcript request form, and you can specifically list scores you DON'T want to release. Also, for the military transcript request (which includes dantes and clep) they specifically have a check box if you only want to release passing scores. So you should never have to release a score you don't want to for at least DANTES and CLEP.

here are links to the transcipt request forms:
