Does anyone really know for sure how many of the dsst questions or clep questions really count in the grading equation? I know they both " field test" certain questions on each exam, but how many? I found taking the dsst exams interesting in that they have a hundred or more questions and yet require you to only score a 48 or 49 on most tests. Does that really mean that each question only counts one point or are they " field testing " ten or so and really grading you on 90 or so questions. I keep track on a scratch sheet how many questions I know I have right and usually when i get up around 50 or more I feel safe ...yet Iam not sure whether there is some curve factor out there that will ultimately zing me and six months later I can test again. Anyone know for sure..thanks.
