I took the paper-based MIS exam on Monday, April 28th and I received my score today, exactly two weeks later. In my opinion, that's not horrible... but I do prefer the computer-based.
That said, they DID change the scoring. Instead of 80 being the best, the new scale is 200 to 500, with 400 being the recommended passing score. Also, I noticed that unlike previous posters on the MIS board that said there were tons of acronyms that weren't spelled out, that is no longer the case. They spelled out acronyms so there was no more confusion.
The insert I received with my scores said the following exams are also having a new scoring system:
Criminal Justice
Ethics in America
College Algebra
Here's to your Health
Intro to Computing
Intro to World Religions
MIS
Personal Finance
Statistics
Substance Abuse
I made a 461 on the MIS under the new scoring system. I'm still waiting to hear back from my school to see if I earn credit with that score.
