How are Excelsior test graded?

First, I am surprised that you are apparently still able to take a paper-and-pencil Excelsior exam -- I thought they had gone 100% electronic.

But more on point, each Excelsior exam is graded on a different curve. I haven't taken World Population yet (I'm planning to take it tomorrow) but I can tell you that I scored an overall 85% on Human Resource Management, and that only earned me a B, but my overall 73% on Statistics got me an A. The rest of the ECEs I've taken so far seem to follow something of a pattern -- my 78% in Labor Relations got me a B, and the others were As with scores above 80%. I'll let you know how World Population goes after I take it tomorrow.
