How exactly do they calculate the CLEP score? - kelsey06 - 10-22-2006
It's not a point for each question, right? I'm just trying to get a mindset of how many i need to get correct for a test w/ 98 questions. I'd appreciate your help if anyone knows!

Hehe! You have asked a question about the second most closely guarded secret in the entire world.
AFAIK, the College Board does not disclose exactly how the scores are calculated. However, since scores are on a scale between 20 and 80, and the typical passing score is 50, the consensus is that if you can successfully answer 50% of the questions, you will just barely pass.PS. Welcome to the board!
