Clep raw scores

[libartsmgr]

Y'all, the key thing to keep in mind is that no matter what the raw score, it will always be normalized. CLEP is normalized to what a two-semester C student would average.

Yes, some questions are harder than others - it's the mix of questions that go into each form. There's a whole field of experts called Psychometricians whose sole job is to determine the difficulty of test items and recommend the spread across forms to ensure they're normalized.

I work for one of the big 3 companies in standardized testing, we develop all kinds of assesements - all normalized. But we don't develop or score the CLEP or DSST - bummer.

It is good to keep track of those you think you've gotten right on the exam so you can guage where you stand, but don't get caught up in the raw score. And remember, sometimes content of another question can help you decide if you got an earlier question correct or not.
