Police and detectives pursue and apprehend individuals who break the law and then issue citations or give warnings. Most police officers patrol their jurisdictions and investigate any suspicious activity they notice. They also respond to calls from individuals. Detectives, who often are called agents or special agents, perform investigative duties such as gathering facts and collecting evidence. The daily activities of police and detectives vary with their occupational specialty—such as police officer, game warden, or detective—and whether they are working for a local, State, or Federal agency. Duties also differ substantially among various Federal agencies, which enforce different aspects of the law. Regardless of job duties or location, police officers and detectives at all levels must write reports and maintain meticulous records that will be needed if they testify in court.
Parole officers perform many of the same duties that probation officers perform. The difference is that parole officers supervise offenders who have been released from prison, whereas probation officers work with those who are sentenced to probation instead of prison. Pretrial services officers conduct pretrial investigations, the findings of which help determine whether suspects should be released before their trial. In most jurisdictions, probation is a county function and parole is a State function.
•Job opportunities are expected to be excellent.
•Employment growth, which is projected to be faster-than-average, is dependent on government funding.
•For parole or probation officers, a bachelor's degree in social work, criminal justice, psychology, or a related field is usually required.

But thanks for the details here!
It is interesting that English Literature is one of the hardest and English Compostion is one of the easiest..
I would think Calculus might be rated a little harder.
The forum software is truncating the URL - so it won't be read properly. I have the file open right now in another tab. I may have to do what I did last year; save as text and then format everything...

OK - I had to do it; there are issues with the link. Here are the FY 2009 Pass Rates for CLEP/DSST Exams for the DOD. There are a couple of changes.
1. There is a more detailed breakdown this year. The pass rates for each service is listed, along with an all service breakdown and all DOD breakdown.
2. Instead of paper and computer tests, the categories are "On-Campus Testing" and "On - Base Testing."
Merry Christmas!

Thanks for sharing that link to the DOD testing results. If anyone is having trouble downloading it directly or would rather not see it in a text file version for whatever reason, I put up a mirror for the file here.
It appears to me this is only those individuals in the DOD, right? It would be interesting to see a comparison to everyone else who has taken these exams.
Thanks for setting up that mirror site - sometimes the DANTES link works, and sometimes it doesn't.
You're right - the info is for DOD personnel only, and it would be good to see what the overall pass rates are. Since DOD personnel can sit exams for free, there may be less of an incentive for DOD personnel to study for the exam. Still, the overall pass rate are a useful tool to gauge the difficulty of an exam.
