    Nope, the 68 is a scaled score. There was a post here on the forum explaining the scores (with updated info). We'll need the standard deviation for this exam in order to estimate your percentile.

    Whatever the percentile, it's a great score, congrats!

    Smile Good news!!!

    For those of you who haven't heard yet...I passed Principles of Marketing yesterday afternoon with a score of 72. I couldn't believe it! I studied for 8 days going over the IC flashcards three times and I also read the HarperCollins College Outline on Introduction to Marketing.

    Just wanted to share!!! I'm still in shock...my highest score on a CLEP yet!!!

    Peace be with you all.

    From a loyal degree seeker,

    Marshall

    Default The Faithful Have Spoken

    Passed DSST Principles of Finance with a 63. Thanks for the prayers. I only prepared for two weeks so the prayers were definitely worth more than a few of those points! Off to work up a little feedback...

    Congratulations barcotta, great score! I was just about to wish you good luck when a notification popped into my mailbox. I'm sure you're very relieved.

    It's been good these past few days with many passing more of the difficult ones (you passing Finance and Judy passing Business Policy). I'm sure you've passed the TECEP, it's just so annoying the wait, isn't it?

    Knucyt, good luck on your upcoming exam!
