Hitting The Do Not Report Score Key??

[X #911]

....I have another strange CLEP question to add your thread. I took a CLEP a few weeks ago, the PC froze during the test. After a reboot I was able to take the entire test just fine, and got my score report. I passed... waited a few weeks, Excelsior still didn't have the score so I called CLEP. They don't have the score either! They said to fax in the printed report and that they would look into it.. I'll be faxing it in tomorrow. Has anyone else experienced this? I figure I passed once, I could pass again, by why should I have to? Has this happened to anyone else out there?

...Only A and B are correct.
At the point where you have already taken the test, you really have NOTHING to lose by 'flipping the coin' and hitting the final "Report Score" button....

....Anyway, if you choose not to score, you're not listed as failing per se but you are subject to the same retake policy as if you had failed. You'll be listed as a "DNS" (do not score) which is a different classification than failing........Your college won't even post it to your transcript if you did fail - so it won't bring down your GPA (if scored and not pass/fail). At best your out cash and time if you fail. But your wiser for the experience.

This leads me to the questions of:
1. Has this problem ever ever to anyone else? If yes, how was it resolved?

2. Do you really have anything to lose? Does it count against you if you fail and have to retake the test?
(besides the $80 [$60 +$20 admin fee]) and the time you have to wait to retake that exam?
Time is on my side I can wait another 6 months to retake. I have waited over 20 years for a degree what's another 6 months.

3. I know that you can chose to list or not to list on the exam that you area taking to have your score sent to you college. I am going to 'one day' take an exam. I am not going to list a college to send my scores to because I want to know before the colllege what am clep score is. (granted the college will not know instantly like I but I want the 'heads up' on my score.)
Anyway, when I decide to have them send over my scores (with a $20 fee - of course) HERE is the question part....can I have ...back it up...just say I took the test twice [first time failing [rememeber not sending to my college scores 'instantly' then the second time passing]....how do/can I know/request that the 1st scorce does not get sent over? Or does the 1st exam score (wheather DNS or fail) get 'wiped off when I take the exam the second time?

Hope someone in this forum can enlighten me on this. Because I did not understand after reading about the score reporting section. Besides that that I can chose not to have my score sent to any college.
