College Board CLEP email to me

[cookderosa]

Sorry, this is a reply but I can't find the thread!! (if someone remembers just tell me and I'll move it).

There was a discussion about pass rates, and someone mentioned that their proctor commented on the test center's 80% pass rate. I found that odd because the proctor really wouldn't know the test rate...so I thought? So, I sent an email to College Board asking for clarity and here was my reply today! Bold and italics are mine.



Dear Ms. DeRosa:

Level Examination Program (CLEP) testing. Please be advised that if you do not

It is possible that an exam proctor may view a score when printing the test

test takers click their approval of confidentiality agreements between
themselves and both the College Board and Educational Testing Service.
