Dantes Grades at Excelsior

Hi,

Does anyone have an up-to-date list of scores required on DANTES exams to achieve the various grades assigned by Excelsior?

I do have a copy of the Student Guide and Assessment Catalog, but it is for 2003-2004. I doubt that the score cut-offs listed are still current.

I would appreciate it if someone would email me the latest version of the Assessment pdf.

PDF file can be sent to: beholdweb (at) aol.com

If not, could someone let me know the grade equivalents for the following DANTES exams:

Intro to Computing
Statistics
Principles of Supervision
Intro to World Religions
Lifespan Development Psychology
Fundamentals of Counseling
Drug & Alcohol Abuse
Here's to Your Health

Thank you,

I just looked at Excelsior's site and I can't find it either. I have a login and checked the publications request page. No luck. Maybe it's being updated for the spring. My copy is from the same year as your list so it's not really any help.

 

2004-2005 should be the current list.

 

Thanks Siersema,

It looks like the scores from the 2004-2005 catalog are exactly the same as the list I have from 2003-2004; at least for the specific exams I am interested in.

I don't know why Excelsior doesn't just list the DANTES score equivalents on their site as they already do for the CLEPs.

Perhaps they are currently updating things, as Bazonkers said.

The frustrating thing is that, in at least one place on their site, Excelsior mentions the Assessment Catalog and instructs you to go to the publications page to obtain it. But when you go to the publications page, the catalog is not listed. Oh well!

Thanks for looking up those scores for me Siersama. I appreciate it. :0)

Very wierd. I don't see it on my pubs page when I go to the pubs request page. I even did a search on the list of documents returned and it isn't there.
