Are dsst tests pass/fail like clep tests or are they graded? Are they harder to pass than clep because it looks like they deduct points when you get an answer wrong? do you have to wait six months if you fail?
thanks

I believe that both CLEP and DSST exams were right-only scoring.

I was talking to my advisor today and she couldn't even tell me what score I needed on the two DSSTs that I need in order to pass. She just told me to study hard and do my best.
Passed:
Humanities CLEP 62 Information Systems and Computer Applications CLEP 61 Principals of Macroeconomics CLEP 51 Ethics in America DSST 443 Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union 46 - Not enough for Jacksonville

Jacksonville University. She said that she had been told that the passing score had changed but they had not been told what it had been changed to.
