Wow, that is exciting. A new examination program! "Uexcel" looks like a partnership between Pearson and Excelsior, and it appears if they are going after the CLEP and DSST market by offering exams in that price range ($85). It will be interesting to see what exam titles will be offered as the catalog expands.
