Don't know if I passed!

[christianpaez]

This was my first clep test ever, and I am not sure if I passed. I did not feel I did very well, and at the end of the test when it asks "are you sure you want to report your score" I clicked cancel. All I used was IC, and there were a lot of questions I was not 100% sure of.

Guess I just have to wait to hear back from CLEP

How many questions do you get for the tests? how much time? and what do you have to score in order to pass? does anyone know?

If you pressed cancel then your scores are gone

As PonyGirl said, that isn't how it works. When you hit cancel you aren't deciding not to send your score to your college you are canceling the test.

So sorry but they're right. You won't get your score at all.

How many questions do you get for the tests?It varies for every test. Some have 90 some 120. how much time? 90 min. for cleps except for ones w/ essays and 2 hours for dssts. and what do you have to score in order to pass? ace recommended score for clep is 50, but it may be different at your school. You'll have to contact your school to know. Some DSSTs have a lower passing score like 45 and updated dssts have a passing score of 400.. does anyone know?

Just a little hint, you can probably find an answer to most of your questions by searching.

This is an important lesson for all of us. When you have failed a test or cancelled the score, you have to wait 6 months to retake the test. Even if it felt like you might have failed it, you really do not know until you report the score. (In most cases, you probably passed.) As far as I know, you should always report the score; I can't think of any benefit of cancelling the score.

I thought I might add that there are a few dssts that are very similiar to some cleps. So there's a possibiltiy you could take a dsst and not have to wait six months to try again. Which test did you take?

OUCH! Sorry man, but the above posts are correct. Your score is terminated.

Really, there is NO HARM at all in your school receiving a failing CLEP score from you. It doesn't count towards either admissions or your GPA. If you are unsure of how you did on a CLEP- don't cancel it, just see what it is and move on (you may be pleasantly surprised!)

This is very true, not to rub it in but I have taken several tests where I thought there was no way I passed and scored 60+. We have a short memory while taking these tests so if there is a run of a few questions where we aren't sure of the answers we magnify it into us thinking we are failing when in fact we aren't.

That, and, since CLEP and many other tests are scaled, you could get half of them wrong and still not be guaranteed to fail. Yet with so many wrong, you may just feel like a failure until your magical score hits the screen.
