    Passed with a 60. No real study. Went to the bookstore and looked at a few Clep books dealing with English and the essay.
    My essay dealt with how dissatisfaction can lead to greatness. I had to discuss how this related to history or a personal story.

    I've also taken the Information Systems Clep. Scored a 50....WHEW...just made it!
    No study. If you know something about computer systems it's not that bad. More technical stuff than I thought though. More LAN, Networking, System stuff....

    Still thinking of:

    Ed Psych Clep
    Sociology (although this might not transfer for what I need)
    Analyze and Interpret Lit (not sure this will transfer to anything I need)
    Biology (checking to see if this will cover a "lab" requirement"....from what i've seen, it might even cover 2!!! that would be so great!
    Math....again...might cover 2 math requirements? wouldn't that be great?!

    Congrats! I took it last week, so I still don't know what I scored. How long did it take you to get your score?

    I took the clep in mid October so it took quite a while for the results. Good luck!

    A score of 50 is a passing score for most colleges and univesities. It is a passing score equal to 6 credits at both the community college I attend now and the 4 year college I will transfer to. It equals 2 English classes.

    I found that the CLEP not only is not accepted at Excelsior, neither the local Community College in my area, nor the state U,(WA STATE U) will accept CLEP "...even as a qualifying exam..." I had to take their placement exam,(which was easier than the CLEP) to qualify to take Eng101. Then after Eng 101 and Eng102, plus Technical Writing, and Research Writing, I found that none of these were acceptable to Excelsior,although they are acceptable to WSU. Where are you located?

    I'm in New Jersey. Luckily, both the community college and the 4 year college I'm transferring to accept CLEP tests. Georgian Court has a website that lists the tests they accept and their equivalent courses.

    It took about 5 weeks to get the results. I know how hard it is to wait! Good Luck!
